Brief Answer:
Yes you can

Detailed Answer:
Hi
welcome to HCM,

Yes you can, but it may lead to a lot of acidity and nausea too because of Tinidazole. You will have to take a preparation of Omeprazole plus Domperidone before meals followed by the antibiotic after meals. Actually you do not need paracetamol. Once the antibiotic acts, the temperature will subside
