What Experts Say

Paracetamol lowers fever by acting on the heat regulating center in the brain, and eases pain by reducing pain signals in the central nervous system. It has little anti inflammatory effect, which is why it is gentler on the stomach. Fever is a sign of the body fighting infection, so the aim is comfort rather than normal temperature at any cost.

It is often the first choice for fever and mild pain in people who cannot take ibuprofen or aspirin, such as those with ulcers, asthma or kidney concerns. It is also considered a first line painkiller in pregnancy at the lowest effective dose. Plenty of fluids and rest remain important alongside the tablet.

The main danger is overdose, which can seriously damage the liver. Many cold and flu products also contain paracetamol, so the total daily amount from all sources should be counted. Persistent high fever in Pakistan can signal typhoid, dengue or malaria, which need proper testing.
