Hi Doctor,
Thank you for your response.
I have taken DOLO 650 one tablet and fever seems to be gone.
Can you tell me if the paracetamol that I consume will also affect the baby as I feed.? The baby seems to be drowsy post me feeding her.

Brief Answer:
Paracetamol will not affect baby
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Paracetamol in Dolo will not affect the baby. The drowsiness in baby is not related to dolo 650. If the medicine contains some antiallergic like chlorpheniramine as in Dolo-Cold, then it may cause drowsiness. So you may check for the composition in the medicine.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
