Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic. Both medicines can reduce pain and fever. They act by blocking the action of chemical messengers responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation.

Pain: Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. It can be temporary (acute) or lifelong (chronic). Acute pain is, for a short time, caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or organs. At the same time, chronic pain lasts lifelong and can occur due to severe inflammation or tissue damage, such as in cases of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Extreme tissue pain and inflammation caused due to sprains, strains, trauma, or post-surgery may require a prolonged amount of time to heal.

Osteoarthritis: It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and tenderness.

Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue), leading to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, swelling, stiffness, deformities, and loss of joint function.
