Brief Answer:
Paracetamol is safe...
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX,
Paracetamol is very safe in the instant. You can take them round the clock if needed. I suggest 500mg tablets once every 6-8 hours for couple of days while antibiotic take care of infection.
It is preferable to take plain paracetamol to avoid episodes of gastritis.
Hope I have answered your questions. Let me know if you need clarifications.
