Calpol 650, which contains paracetamol (acetaminophen), is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It can be taken for cold and slight fever, as it helps alleviate discomfort and reduce fever. However, it's important to follow the recommended dosage and consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

Question

I've been dealing with a normal fever, cough, and cold, and I'm feeling pretty weak. I've heard about a medication called 'oncet cf' and I'm considering taking half a tab three times a day. I also came across Clavam 375, which is 1 tab twice a day, and Dolo 650, half a tab twice a day. Do you think this is a good course of action for my symptoms? Are there any side effects or interactions I should be worried about with these meds?
