Took 50 vitamin C, zinc pills, am I safe?
Taking 50 pills of vitamin C and zinc all at once can be dangerous! It may induce tummy pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Too much zinc in your body can also be bad for you. Don't waste any time. Seek medical assistance without hesitation. Water drinking may be useful in getting rid of leftover vitamins and minerals. Your body needs time for healing.

Fever can be a sign that your body is fighting off an infection like a cold or flu. Taking paracetamol with caffeine can help to bring down the fever and reduce the discomfort. It's okay to consume 1165mg of paracetamol accompanied by 50mg of caffeine, twice a day. Do not go beyond this dosage. Take a rest, drink ample fluids, and check your temperature regularly. If your fever goes on or gets worse, call for medical help.
