Rather than give her PreMenses, unless it was prescribed by a doctor, I
would just give her aleve or something. Thats what my gyno told me when
I went in. Also, at 14, double check to make sure any pain reliever you
give her contains no aspirin! People under 20 shouldn't have aspirin. I
would just try aleve!
