Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

It's absolutely safe to take up to 3 crocin/ paracetamol tablets per day. The Vicks rub is also safe.

The paracetamol will help with gum pain as well.

It's common to have such gum pain in pregnancy, it will go away itself post delivery.

If your symptoms don't improve in three days get a doctor to check you.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
