What Experts Say

Paracetamol is a first choice for fever and mild to moderate pain worldwide. It works in the brain to lower body temperature and ease pain signals. It does not reduce swelling much, so it is not meant for strong inflammatory pain. Relief usually begins within 30 to 60 minutes of a dose.

The 500 mg strength is the standard adult tablet. Doses must be spaced at least 4 hours apart, and the daily limit must not be crossed. Overdose is the main danger, as it can injure the liver without early symptoms. Alcohol use and long term illness make this risk higher. Young children and older adults need extra care with dosing.

Many flu and cold remedies already include paracetamol, so double dosing is a common mistake. During dengue in Pakistan, doctors prefer paracetamol over NSAIDs for fever. Fever lasting beyond 3 days should be checked by a doctor. Keeping a note of doses taken helps avoid mistakes in busy households.
