Paracetamol is a relatively safer antipyretic medication with little side effects. Maximum you can take is upto 4 tabs a day at 6 hour intervals after checking your body temperature if it's more than 100 degree f.

Paracetamol is otherwise safe as compared to other medications (pain killer). You can take maximum of 4 tablets (of 650mg)/day.
If temperature is more than 100 then you need to take paracetamol.

Above 100°f atleast if you are having fever. However if your body weight is above 70kg consider paracetamol 650 mg instead of 500mg.
