What are the health risks associated with taking 1000 mg of paracetamol (Crocin Advance) every four hours for a high fever in suspected viral or dengue infections, and does this exceed the maximum safe daily limit?
This does exceed the maximum safe daily limit of 4000 mg for adults. Taking too much paracetamol can strain or damage your liver, which is especially important to avoid during suspected viral infections like dengue. To keep you safe, please limit your dose to 500 mg to 650 mg every four to six hours, ensuring you do not exceed 4000 mg in 24 hours. Keep resting, stay well-hydrated, and please consult a doctor right away to safely manage your symptoms.
