Depends: on what you took. You need to what is in the OTC meds you took. You could take a total of 800 mg 3 times a day. for 3 or 4 days. Warm tub soaks help some. If you have heavy bleeding associated with the pain, you may need some hormonal mgt in the future. If this is recurrent, then OCP can help as well. Need more info to give the best answer

Acupuncture is good: acutely.NSAID’s, SSRI’s, hormone meds, OTC meds containing diuretics, warm bath, heating pad, exercise & acupuncture are excellent for PMS / period. Avoid caffeine, chocolate, alcohol & salt. Get GYN eval to R/O underlying pathology. Consider omega- 3 fatty acids, magnesium (supplementation or through diet) or Black Cohosh with dr ok. Sipping Chamomile can dissipate pain. Ginger helps w nausea.
