I have a high fever, shivering, headache, leg pain, and a slight cough, and Dolo 650 only provides relief for a few hours. What alternative medication or treatment should I take for effective relief?
It is common for paracetamol (650 mg) to wear off after a few hours during active viral infections. Please do not exceed the safe limit of four doses of paracetamol in 24 hours to protect your liver. Instead of starting new medications on your own, prioritize complete bed rest, tepid sponging to lower temperature, and drinking plenty of fluids like water and coconut water. Since high fever and body aches can indicate infections like the flu, dengue, or malaria, please consult a doctor. They can safely recommend appropriate blood tests and prescribe targeted alternative medications. Rest assured, this is highly manageable with timely medical guidance.
