  5. I have been experiencing a fever, body pain, headache, and weakness during my menstrual cycle. My doctor reviewed my blood reports and advised taking only Paracetamol every 6 hours, but my fever and pain return within 4 to 5 hours of taking the medicine. Is Paracetamol alone sufficient to manage my symptoms, or do I need a change in medication?

It is quite common to experience these symptoms during your menstrual cycle. While paracetamol is a safe first-line treatment, its effects can wear off after 4 hours. Do not take it more frequently than every 6 hours to avoid liver strain.\n\nSince paracetamol alone isn't fully managing your symptoms, you may benefit from a treatment adjustment. Please consult your doctor about adding or switching to an NSAID, such as ibuprofen or mefenamic acid. These are highly effective for menstrual inflammation and pain and can sometimes be safely alternated with paracetamol. In the meantime, ensure you get plenty of rest and stay well-hydrated.
