In Myanmar, many people tend to take painkillers as soon as they experience fever or body aches. While painkillers can temporarily relieve symptoms such as fever, pain, and inflammation, frequent or improper use can lead to serious side effects.

Common Side Effects of Painkillers:
🔹 Stomach irritation or ulcers
🔹 Heartburn
🔹 Nausea and vomiting
🔹 Constipation
🔹 Drowsiness
🔹 Dizziness
🔹 Dependency or addiction in some cases
🔹 In severe cases, life-threatening complications

Because of these risks, it’s important not to self-medicate with painkillers, whether it’s for a common illness or something more serious. The best and safest approach is to consult a qualified doctor and follow their instructions regarding medication.
