Hello madam, in order to better understand your needs, would it be possible to know if you take other medications, have allergies, are pregnant?

Thank you!

Thanks for the information!

Given the pregnancy, acetaminophen (Tylenol and other brands) is the best option for pain relief. It is safe in all trimesters

Wishing you a speedy recovery, I will remain available if anything comes up

Orajel is not recommended for use during pregnancy.
