Paracetamol recommendation

2021-04-28 11:09:38
I have some cough and a temperature that hovers over 98.6F to 99.2F (measured under the tongue). I am awaiting my covid test result. I don't have any other covid symptoms. Should I take a paracetamol? I know it's generally to be taken above 100 but still wanted to know for sure.
