Hello,
I understand your concern.
It is totally safe to take paracetamol for such a short duration. You can take it for a few more days like a week or so if you need to, provided that you don't have history of gastritis.
You may take some antacids like omeprazole or ranitidine if you have burning in stomach.
Hope this will be helpful.
Thanks for your question.
Take care.
