Pain, Headache & Fever

Short-lived pain and fever from colds, flu, tension or minor injury. Painkillers ease the symptoms while the body deals with the cause.

What actually helps
  • Paracetamol as a first choice for most people, at the dose on the pack.
  • Checking combination cold and flu products before adding another painkiller — many already contain paracetamol.
  • Rest and plenty of fluids with a fever.
