I'm really worried because I've been getting a high fever and shivering every 12 hours. Every time I take paracetamol, the fever and shivering go away for a while, but then it just comes back. I recently took a COVID test and it was negative. Why do I keep getting this intermittent fever? After taking paracetamol, I always end up sweating, and then the fever goes down. What could be causing this?

I'm having trouble sleeping before 4 am, so I've been taking melatonin. But now I've come down with a fever and took some paracetamol. Can I still take melatonin after that? Is it safe to use both?

Yes, you can take paracetamol and melatonin together. Paracetamol is safe to take for fever, and melatonin can help with sleep. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosages for each.
