Take pain medication. Taking an over-the-counter medication is one of the most effective ways to make cramps go away. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and Tylenol work quickly to take away the pain. You can find them in most drug stores.
If you're looking for ways to avoid over-the-counter drugs, eating healthy and drinking fluids is one way to help ease painful periods. Try to have a mixture of everything. In terms of fighting cramps and PMS, 80 per cent of it is nutrition. Stick to foods that are natural, low in sugar, fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy whole grains, and nuts and seeds, says nutritionist Kathy Smart of Ottawa, Ont.
