Fever is the body's response to infection or illness, often accompanied by elevated body temperature, while pain signals discomfort or injury, prompting protective responses or indicating an underlying problem.
This has given rise to the concept of Permissive Hyperthermia where, for children, we administer paracetamol only when the temperature goes above 104F rather than the usual practice of using paracetamol for temperature more than 101F.
Usually you will start feeling better after about half an hour of taking Paracip Suspension.

Paracetamol relieves pain. It also reduces raised body temperature (fever). You can take a dose of paracetamol every 4-6 hours if needed, but do not take more than four doses in any 24-hour period.
Painkillers like acetylsalicylic acid (ASA – the drug in medicines such as Aspirin), ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol) can relieve cold-related symptoms such as headache, earache and joint pain. These painkillers can also lower a fever. They don't help to relieve a cough or stuffy nose.
Ibuprofen, also known as Advil or Motrin, is safe to use in children at least six months of age and older. One dose of ibuprofen lasts approximately six to eight hours. Naproxen, also known as Aleve, is safe to use in children 12 years and older.
Ibuprofen and Paracip Suspension are safe medicines, but both should not be used together. Consult your doctor if you are not sure.
