With kids playing safe isn't a bad idea, ibuprofen is usually the election drug, but after surgeries, like tonsillectomy, paracetamol is preferred. All things accounted, IMO it's safer for your liver a daily those of 3 grs (1gr/8h) of paracetamol than 40 grs of alcohol, specially for women. However we're not speaking of needing painkillers on a daily basis for life, but just using something for a while which isn't as "dangerous" as opioids, yet effective if the pain isn't great.
