I'm really worried about the side effects of taking Paracetamol 500 mg, and I don't want to take it unless I really need to. Could you let me know at what temperature in Fahrenheit should I consider taking it? I'm trying to be cautious about it.

Paracetamol is a relatively safer antipyretic medication with little side effects. Maximum you can take is upto 4 tabs a day at 6 hour intervals after checking your body temperature if it's more than 100 degree f.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've noticed a few cervical lymph nodes. Earlier today, I experienced a sensation like an insect bite, and now it feels like a lymph node might have burst. Is it possible for a lymph node to actually burst? What could cause that to happen, and what symptoms should I be on the lookout for?
Drinking lemon water before a fasting test is generally not recommended. Here's why: _Fasting Test Requirements_ Fasting tests, such as blood glucose or lipid profile tests, require you to abstain from food and drinks for a specified period, usually 8-12 hours. _Why Avoid Lemon Water?_ 1. _Caloric intake_: Lemon water contains calories, which can break your fast and affect test results. 2. _Blood sugar fluctuations_: Lemon water may cause a slight increase in blood sugar levels, which could impact test results, especially for blood glucose tests. 3. _Acidity_: Lemon water's acidity might stimulate digestion and potentially affect test results. _What to Drink Instead?_ If you're thirsty before a fasting test, you can drink: 1. _Plain water_: Water is calorie-free and won't affect test results. 2. _Black coffee or tea_: These beverages are calorie-free and won't break your fast.
