Can Calpol 650 cause nausea or stomach upset? I took it for a headache, and now I feel a bit uneasy and bloated. Is this a normal side effect, or should I avoid it next time?

Dear Reader,
Feeling uneasy after taking a medicine can be uncomfortable, and it’s good that you’re paying attention to how your body reacts. Calpol 650 contains paracetamol, and while many people tolerate it well, some may experience mild symptoms such as nausea, stomach discomfort, or bloating. These reactions can vary from person to person and may be influenced by factors such as taking the tablet on an empty stomach, dehydration, other medicines or an underlying condition. If the uneasiness settles on its own, it may simply be a temporary response. However, if the discomfort persists, becomes bothersome, or recurs when you take it again, it would be best to discuss this with your doctor so they can help you manage the symptoms.
Wishing you good health and comfort ahead.
