Analgesics are for pain. Different analgesics are used for different types of pain. You may be given morphine if you break your leg or aspirin if you have a headache, for instance.

Analgesics do not cure anything. They just relieve pain. This is OK if you and your doctor know why you have pain. Pain is the body's way of letting us know that something is wrong, so it is useful and helpful in diagnosing a problem.

Most labels on analgesics say that you should not take them for more than 3 days without consulting your doctor, and that is because people shouldn't normally need to take analgesics for that long. If pain persists it may be a sign that there is a disease or condition you need to have investigated.
