Brief Answer:
Paracetamol can be given

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings

NEED to evaluate for tiredness at the earliest, especially thyroid and blood sugar. Even anaemia can cause tiredness.
All nutritional food she can eat and can exercise as per her convenience. She can travel by train for short journeys. No problem.
