Yes: Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be used. Lowest possible dose that helps you. 325mg if that is sufficient for your pain - other wise 650mg for a single dose.

Yes: Usual dose should not exceed 3gm in divided doses in a day. It is prudent to take as less medication as possible during pregnancy even when they are considered safe
