Hello!
There is not a stronger one than the other, however paracetamol is more recommended as it s better on your stomach than aspirin that causes bleeding.
I would go for paracetamol for sure unless the doctor says otherwise.
Paracetamol is a good fever reducer and pain killer.

Aspirin is generally considered to be stronger in terms of its anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning effects compared to paracetamol. However, the choice between the two depends on the specific condition being treated and individual health factors. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate medication for your needs.
Some common drugs that contain an aromatic phenol group include aspirin, acetaminophen (paracetamol), ibuprofen, and diclofenac. These drugs are widely used as analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents.
Aspirin is derived from the bark of the white willow tree (Salix alba) and meadowsweet plant (Filipendula ulmaria). Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is a synthetic compound and is not derived from plants.
The common paracetamol tablet is approximately 1cm long anyway. Depending on the manufacturer, aspirin may come in different shapes, but I think it's a fair assumption to say the longer end is approx 1cm
No, aspirin is not an acid in terms of acidity strength. Aspirin is a weak acid called acetylsalicylic acid. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid have a much lower pH and can fully dissociate in solution.
Paracetamol is a brand name for Acetaminophin, or APAP. APAP is not an NSAID. NSAID stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, paracetamol, however is not an anti-inflammatory drug. But it has anti-pyretic and analgesic properties.
