Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
The drug calpol is safe in pregnancy if there is an indication the lowest possible dose to be used.
meanwhile other causes of the headaches should be investigated.
I hope her blood investigation is normal.
Sometimes pregnancy with anemia can cause headaches.
Thanks
