Specializes in Pediatrics

Nurofen: Nurofen is generally not recommendedin pregnancy, especially in the third trimester. Taking one or two tablets at your point in pregnancy shouldnt be a problem. A better solution would be to make an appointment with your doctor to make sure you donthave an infection.
