Can paracetamol cause side effects?
Very rarely, but this doesn’t it mean it can’t. In rare cases it can cause something known as anaphylaxis, which is a complicated way of saying serious allergic reaction.
The NHS recommend that you go to A&E or call 999 if:
• You develop a skin rash that may include itchy, red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin
• You’re wheezing
• You get tightness in the chest or throat
• You have trouble breathing or talking
• Your mouth, face, lips, tongue, or throat start swelling.
