Hi,
Panadal is commonly prescribed for the symptomatic relief of fever and it is found to be very effective in reducing the raised body temperature. You seem to have developed some sort of upper respiratory tract infection for which you may need to take a course of suitable antibiotic along with panadol after consulting a doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
