Hi,
paracetamol is very safe drug. it has hepatic (liver) toxicity at very high dose which is subjective. lung cancer if not spreads to liver her liver function seems to be normal. then you may use the same dose for even 4 times a day. but cause of fever to be detected and to be treated accordingly. paradetamol is not definite treatment. you should go for a complete blood count. consult oncologist.
