Can I take paracetamol now if I took ayurvedic medicine a couple of hours ago? My fever's at 102, and I'm feeling pretty lousy. Is it okay to mix the two?

It's generally safe for a 30-year-old female to take paracetamol (650 mg) to reduce fever, even if she has taken ayurvedic medicine a few hours ago, as long as the ayurvedic medicine does not contain ingredients that interact adversely with paracetamol.

Key points to consider:

  1. Check the ingredients: Ensure none of the ayurvedic components interact with paracetamol.
  2. Dosage: Do not exceed 4 grams of paracetamol per day.
  3. Monitor symptoms: Seek medical advice if fever persists beyond 3 days or worsens.
  4. Hydration and rest: Stay hydrated and rest well.

If uncertain about the ayurvedic medicine or if there are liver issues, consult a healthcare professional before taking paracetamol. Seek medical attention if the fever is very high or accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
