Man, this took me so long to get through my skull. I used to be a "I don't need the medicine, why self-medicate when I can just endure it and it will go away".

I got older, started having those little aches turn into ruin-your-day annoyances that only reset with a sleep overnight and now I mildly resent young me for being silly about it.

I don't enjoy suffering a headache or think it's virtuous, but I was always taught that pain is your body sending a message. Usually, unless it's a proper migraine, I can figure out what the cause is and address it. Muscle tension, dehydration, low electrolytes, etc.

If it remains a puzzle, I'm not opposed to OTC analgesics. I just like to try to troubleshoot first (:

If you don’t have chronoc headaches / migraines, you don’t necessarily have to follow this advice.

Taking a pill for the slightest pain will be detrimental in the long run for your liver and the painkiller’s efficiency.

Define "slightest pain".

If you're in occassional discomfort and it's impacting your wellbeing having an aspirin once in a while is probably not a huge deal.

If you have recurring pain constantly or frequently then you need medical attention and you should follow that guidance, not what anybody says on the Internet.
