Can Panadol Be Taken For Headache?

Have just started to take 75mg for pain in the left rear side of head behind left ear. this was prescribed by doctor after checking my bp and blood glucose level all within healthy level. I rarely have headache and about a week ago started to have headache. not too painful but on and off. took Panadol prior to seeing doctor but pain came back. Don t feel comfortable taking this medicine (2 doses so far) after reading on internet the side effects of this drug. Appreciate a second/your medical opinion.
