I am experiencing fever, headache, and drowsiness after taking Sumo Cold Tablet and Calpol 650 mg Tablet. What should I do?
Asked by Male, 30 · 2 months ago
Sumo Cold Tablet already contains paracetamol, which is also in Calpol 650 mg Tablet, so taking both together may cause an overdose and lead to serious side effects. Stop taking any further doses, rest, and keep yourself well hydrated. If your fever, headache, or drowsiness persists or worsens, consult your doctor immediately.
