I always have really bad period pains at nighttime, so when i'm on my period i always take 2 paracetamol before i go to sleep! Also, I use a hot water bottle when the pain is really bad!
I usually just take paracetamol whenever the pain gets really bad but ive also found a hot water bottle, or eve just going for a walk, i know that when the pains are really bad you don't feel like getting up and going for a walk but it really does help them wear off! hope i helped sugar,x
