    You know I have heard paracetamol is a pain killer. I’ve taken it many times and not once has it done anything for pain. Now fever, that it affects.

      Pain drugs like paracetamol don’t work at all in a significant number of people for pain. Taking an anti febrile is a really bad idea, basically an immune inhibitor.

      It’s individual and doesn’t affect all pains equally. I’ve used it against headaches for years, at some point that just stopped working for me.
