What are the recommended medical next steps when a two-day fever accompanied by severe headache and body aches fails to respond to a 500 mg dose of paracetamol?

Asked by Male, 27 · 13 days ago

Since your fever, severe headache, and body aches have not responded to 500 mg of paracetamol, the safest next step is to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, please prioritize resting and drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated. For adults, the dose of paracetamol can sometimes be increased up to 1000 mg, not exceeding 4000 mg in 24 hours, but please check with a physician first. Seek immediate medical care if you experience a stiff neck, confusion, or difficulty breathing.
