Hi,
Continue to take Ceftriaxon injection as usual. Don't give him more than one dosage in one time. If you give too much Paracetamol you may lead him to liver toxicity. You can give him once Paracetamol once Ibuprofen every 3 hours and make sure to give the right dosage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
