if you take a painkiller, like paracetamol, it should help braxton hicks..but if its labour that wouldn't help

A braxton hicks contraction doesn't build a pattern or get stronger. Also, usually if it's braxton hicks, you can usually drink something and change positions and they'll stop. True labor won't stop no matter what. :)
