Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Tablet paracetamol would be ideal for your wife as it is safest and won't cause any problem to either your wife or the child in foetus. Paracetamol can be taken every 6 hourly,if the need arises.
Paracetamol can be taken for headache as well as fever also.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
