Answered by Pharmacist Nguyen Do Quang Trung - Faculty of Pharmacy, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “What should I do if I am allergic to Paracetamol? ", the pharmacist would like to answer as follows:
If you are allergic to Paracetamol, you can use a group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen to reduce fever. However, you do not mention the extent of the allergic reaction you experience and still a small percentage of people with Paracetamol allergies experience a reaction to the NSAID class.
Therefore, you should go to the hospital for a checkup on fever, as well as a specialist in Immunology - Allergy so that you can choose a safe and effective medicine.
If you still have questions about your allergy to Paracetamol, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further testing and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
