It’s the pink coloured types? It’s meant for menstruation.

I always find that taking a warm shower or using warm compresses usually help.

Exercising (taking a walk, slow jog, etc.) usually does the trick too. I'm not bent on taking meds because there's usually side effects, unless I'm in severe pain.
