There is no specific timeline of sideeffects which can commonly apply for all medicines. It depends on the duration of usage, dosage of medicine used and half-life elimination of the drug from the body.

Attached his haemogram report for reference.

I've been experiencing a fever with a lot of shivering. It started last evening, and I took Crocin at night, but early this morning, I had really intense shivering again and took Dolo 650. I'm concerned about what's causing this and whether I should be doing something different to feel better. Is there something specific I should keep an eye on or maybe go see a doctor?
