Additionally, be cautious of potential allergic reactions, which may include severe skin issues like reddening, blisters, or rashes. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using the medication and seek medical help immediately. It's also important to consult a doctor if your pain worsens or lasts more than 10 days, if your fever persists for more than 3 days, or if you notice any new symptoms. If you have liver disease or are taking the blood thinner warfarin, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.
