Paracetamol works on the brain's temperature control center and blocks certain pain signals. This lowers fever and reduces pain without affecting the stomach lining much.
The liquid form suits children and adults who struggle to swallow tablets. Correct weight based dosing matters, since an overdose can harm the liver.
