Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Paracetamol has no such side effects. In fact, it is used in the treatment of backache. This could be a side effect of the other medications like the vicks' and cold and flu. Should these symptoms persist, please talk to your doctor for him to consider alternatives if he thinks it is necessary.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and feel free to ask for more information should need be. Thanks.
