I've been running a fever since last night and now I'm dealing with really intense upper back pain. It's so bad I can't even stand without feeling like I'm going to fall over. What's going on? Should I be worried?

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've had a cough and cold for a week now and my complete blood profile came back normal, but my ESR is 75mm. I haven't had any fever, body pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. Currently, I'm on amoxyclav and taking ascoryl syrup. Do you think I need any more medication or any other tests? I'm a bit worried.
