Do not take aspirin & paracetamol without a prescription..!?

'To prevent heat stroke and other side effects that occur during the summer, do not take aspirin and paracetamol tablets without a doctor's prescription,' the Public health Department has advised. Public health Department director Selvavinayagam said: During the summer, you can take large amounts of buttermilk, fresh water, salt, and lemon juice mixed with salt. You should wear soft, loose, airy, cotton clothes so that sweat can drain easily. If you experience dizziness, fatigue, excessive thirst, headache, wrist, or abdominal pain, it is necessary to call those nearby for help and seek immediate medical treatment.
Paracetamol and aspirin tablets should not be given to those suffering from heat stroke with the aim of reducing fever. Tablets and medicines should be taken only as prescribed by the doctor. He said this. Public health Expert K.K.Sammy said: If a person suffers from 'heat stroke' and is faint or feels tired, they should immediately lie down on their side in a shady place. They can be given fresh water and buttermilk to reduce body heat. They should be given a cloth soaked in water to reduce body heat. Avoid giving aspirin and paracetamol tablets thinking it is a fever. If given once, it can cause side effects. It can also be dangerous for some people. He said this.
