Brief Answer:
NO!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your wife is definitely safe. There is nothing to worry about. If she develops minor pains and headaches, tylenol 1000mg would help. However, severe pains should warrant further evaluation.
In all, she’s safe unless otherwise. Tylenol for headache if any.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be. I will appreciate updates on her status as well.
