When I have a fever or body pain, can I take paracetamol? Is it safe to use?
Asked by Male, 35 · 25 days ago
Paracetamol is generally considered safe and effective for the management of fever and mild to moderate pain when used within the recommended dosage limits. Patients should avoid exceeding the prescribed dose and should not combine paracetamol with other medications containing the same ingredient to prevent accidental overdose. Caution is advised in individuals with liver disease, chronic alcohol use, or other comorbidities, and medical consultation is recommended in these cases. While paracetamol provides symptomatic relief, it does not address the underlying cause of fever or pain; therefore, persistent, recurrent, or worsening symptoms warrant clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
