This study will be conducted at or up to five study sites in India. In this study, real world data generated will be compared to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Nimesulide, Ibuprofen plus Paracetamol and Paracetamol alone in adult patients with fever or fever with pain. Patients will be divided into three groups based on study drug prescribed by the investigator. Total 303 patients will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be grouped as below:

Group 2- Ibuprofen (400mg) plus Paracetamol (325mg) (N=101)
Group 3- Paracetamol (650mg) (N=101)

In this study, Nimesulide will be compared with Ibuprofen plus Paracetamol and Paracetamol alone by observing reduction in fever from 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours post consuming study drug by the patient and on Day 1 and thereafter once every day till recovery i.e. EOT maximum up to Day 10 using a thermometer; and by observing reduction in pain intensity via self-reported Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) provided by investigator from baseline to 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours, post dosing and on Day 1 and thereafter once every day till EOT maximum up to Day 10.
