Period cramps during breastfeeding

I have 2.5 month baby. I am exclusively breastfeeding her. I got my periods and I am having cramps. Which tablet I can take to reduce pain while I am breastfeeding?

Menstrual cycle problem

My last menstrual period was from 22nd to 25th May. Due to contraceptive failure, I took an Unwanted 72 pill on 27th May, within a few hours of the incident. I experienced withdrawal bleeding starting on 2nd June, and it is still continuing. Until yesterday, I was having abdominal pain and leg pain, but since this morning, I have been experiencing significant breast tenderness why it's happening even after seven days of start of the bleeding, to the extent that even a light touch causes discomfort. I am concerned about whether these symptoms are normal side effects of the emergency contraceptive pill and whether they indicate that the pill has pr hasn't worked successfully.  Additionally, could these symptoms be early signs of pregnancy, or are they more likely to be side effects of the emergency contraceptive pill? Should I take a pregnancy test, and if so, when would be the appropriate time to do so?

Unprotected sex

I had unprotected sex with ejalucation inside a few days back. I have symptoms like breast pain, slight lump near to nipple, nausea, food aversion, fatigue, not able to sleep at night, pain comes when I try to lie down steadily, smell sensitivity, and reduce appetite. It's been 2 days since my period was missed. I am not able to take any weight. I am unable to walk or sit for long. There is pain in between the breast and my stomach area, slight back pain sometimes. I am unable to wear a bra due to breast pain and itching is also there in my breasts.
