Advil (ibuprofen) and pregnancy: If your last menses was sept 11, then the biggest risk to using advil is an increase in bleeding. Use tylenol (acetaminophen) if you have a headache. Check in with your doctor as soon as you miss your menses.

I tested positive for Covid last week and today is the last day of my isolation period. However, Ive had an extremely bad headache since yesterday. Sharp stabbing pain on the left side of my head near my temple. Takes my breath away when it happens. Neither Advil nor Tylenol have seemed to work for it. What should I do? Headache?
