I'm having trouble sleeping before 4 am, so I've been taking melatonin. But now I've come down with a fever and took some paracetamol. Can I still take melatonin after that? Is it safe to use both?

Yes, you can take paracetamol and melatonin together. Paracetamol is safe to take for fever, and melatonin can help with sleep. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosages for each.
