Common medicine side effects: It is often said jokingly that every third person in India is a doctor. Take this thing upon yourself. As soon as you fall ill, you go to the medicine shop and buy medicine from there and then swallow it. That is, you fall ill immediately and take medicine immediately. But do you know how much you have to suffer for this. Dr. Tushar Tayal, Consultant of Internal Medicine at CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, says that often people take paracetamol and antibiotics if they feel a little tired or have fever, but most people have viral fever which gets cured automatically in three-four days.
