Yes!I use paracetomol for my head aches.It surely heals the head ache soon.You have to take rest in addition to that.Getting involved in hectic works still will not help much.So,whenever I have a head ache,i take a paracetomol,move on to a secluded place with free aeration or just lie down and try to take a nap.It helps.Cheers!

I think that we can't just take meds. Sometimes our headaches are caused by not eating. Sometimes it's caused by the weather. We get headaches at times because we're stressed. If it's an extreme and perpetual case of a headache, then I'm sure that consulting a doctor would be best - it might be migraine or something worse.

I usually paracetamol for headache and fever. But for severe pain in any parts of my body sometimes I use Ibufropen or Naproxen. They are stronger but the side effect is the effect on the stomach and sometime my hyperacidity worsens. So if possible I stick to paracetamol it has less side effects or none at all.

I take cataflam (pain relief) when I'm having headache and it seems to work with me, but I only take low dosage 25ml, but I also have strong ones. I seems to get headache often and sometimes I can't take the pain. If the headache is mild I don't take any medicine, I'll just have a rest and drink a lot of water.

I am used to paracetamol and I have been using it for very long now. Since I was a child my mother would give that to me in case I had headache or my tooth was aching. I find it very relaxing but recently I have been using Patches such as Salonpas to heal my pain which is very efficient too.

Yes, I use paracetamol for headache. Mostly I got headache along with running nose or slight fever. So, paracetamol will work. My husband and I generally use the paracetamol tablet 'Dolo 650'. It is very effective. It the headache won't go and getting severe then we will consult with doctor.

I hardly use paracetamol, I can't even remember the last time I use it. It's not compatible with my stomach and I might have gastric attack after taking one. If avoidable, I might find other remedy.
Usually, if I have headache, I'll just lie down and rest. It will pass down eventually. If not, I'll see the doctor.
