i took it 9 hrs after first dose since was burning with 104 fever
Brief Answer:
Its fine to take after 9 hrs
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is fine to take paracetamol after 9 hours when you have high fever. Basically its meant to control fever, so whenever you have fever you can take it. If fever crosses 104, you must see a physician and may require assistance of a nurse at hospital.
Also try sponging yourself with cold water.
