What Experts Say

Paracetamol works by acting on the brain's temperature control center and blocking pain signal pathways. It does not reduce inflammation the way NSAIDs do, which makes it gentler on a child's stomach. Pediatricians widely recommend it as a first choice for fever and mild pain in children.

Doctors stress that dosing must be based on the child's weight rather than age alone. Giving too much paracetamol, even slightly above the recommended amount repeatedly, can strain the liver over time. Parents are advised to use the measuring device that comes with the bottle rather than a kitchen spoon.

Experts caution against combining Paramed with other paracetamol-containing cold or flu syrups, since this can lead to accidental overdose. If fever persists beyond three days or crosses 102 degrees Fahrenheit, medical advice should be sought promptly. Paracetamol overdose is a leading cause of preventable liver injury in children.
