What is the safest pain reliever to use for a fever before seeing a doctor?

Paracetamol, also called Acetaminophen, is the only safe non-prescription option to bring down fever and help with aches, before the dengue diagnosis is confirmed.

Paracetamol does not disrupt blood clotting processes, so it remains safe in suspected dengue situations. Still, it should be taken strictly based on the dosage instructions, because higher amounts can lead to liver toxicity. Do not go past the maximum daily dose, and make sure you seek a professional medical diagnosis from a clinician instead of only covering the fever with medication.
