Paracetamol alone may not be enough to treat heatstroke fever

As temperatures continue to rise, the risk of heatstroke is increasing across various parts of the country. Until a few years ago, extreme heat was more common in the Tarai-Madhesh region, but it is now being felt in hilly districts as well. Rising temperatures, hot and dry winds, excessive sweating, and related health complications are becoming increasingly common.

Many people take paracetamol and rest when they develop a fever. However, during heatstroke, body temperature can rise to dangerously high levels, and fever-reducing medicines such as paracetamol alone may not be sufficient.
