    Paracetamol is used to relieve fever, headaches, and other minor aches and pains. It works by acting on the hypothalamus to cause vasodilation and sweating, reducing fever. It should be used cautiously in those with liver or kidney impairment and contraindicated in those allergic to it. Adverse reactions include chest pain, dyspnea, rash, fever, acute kidney failure, jaundice, and hepatic toxicity. Nurses should instruct patients on proper usage and monitoring for adverse effects, and warn that overdoses can cause potentially fatal liver damage.
