But i am still getting fever at 5-6 hour intervals. Will i continue to get fever till the end of injection course? Can i take paracetamol whenever i get fever? Please advise. As far as my medical history is concerned, this is the biggest illness that i have got till now.
Hi, Thanks for question. Since you are having fever,you can take paracetamol thrice a day or as per doctor's advice. After starting antibiotics,it will take 2-4 days to subside your symptoms like fever. You need not to worry. All you need to do take complete course of medication as per doctor advice. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any queries I will be happy to help you. Thank you.
