I didn’t have a fever, but I was feeling tired and had mild body pain, so I took a Dolo 650 tablet. Now I’m anxious about what happens if we take Dolo 650 without a fever? Can it cause any side effects or health issues if it’s taken unnecessarily?

Dear Reader,
It’s completely understandable to feel anxious, but taking one Dolo 650 tablet without a fever is generally not harmful if taken for any other indication under a doctor’s advice. Dolo 650 contains paracetamol (acetaminophen), a common medication used to relieve pain and reduce fever. Many people believe it’s only for treating fever, but it can also help with mild body aches, headaches, fatigue-related pain, muscle soreness, and general discomfort from tiredness.
If you took one tablet because you were feeling tired and experiencing mild body pain, that’s perfectly fine. A single dose of 650 mg is within the recommended safe range for adults and is unlikely to cause side effects for most people. You may even find some relief from the ache and tiredness after taking it.
However, it’s essential not to take it unnecessarily or too frequently. Regular or excessive use of paracetamol can strain the liver, especially if combined with alcohol or other medications containing paracetamol. Common side effects are rare, but a few individuals might experience mild nausea, stomach upset, or an allergic reaction.
Here’s what you should do:
Don’t worry, one tablet will not cause harm.
Avoid taking another dose soon unless the pain returns or a doctor advises it.
Make sure you do not take any other medications that have paracetamol in them simultaneously.
Focus on resting, staying hydrated, eating balanced meals, and getting enough sleep to naturally alleviate tiredness.
In summary, taking Dolo 650 once without a fever is safe and shouldn’t be a cause for concern. Just use it responsibly and only when you genuinely need relief from pain or fever.
