I'm really worried because I've been feeling pretty awful this week with a fever and body aches that are making it hard for me to even walk. I've been taking Paracetamol but it's not helping much, and now I've got a runny nose too. What could be going on and should I be doing something different to feel better?

I came down with typhoid on April 1st, and although that's over now, I'm dealing with a mild fever and feeling really weak in my legs. Plus, I just can't seem to get any sleep at night. What could be causing this? Any idea how I can start feeling better?

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.
