Is taking a paracetamol tablet for a headache or carrying one in the pocket to take when some pain occurs also shirk?

No, because we hope that Allah swt has put a cure in the tablet and that it will work with the power of Allah. The same can be said about these taweez and other items you show in this thread...there might be techniques like the ones involved in the design and manufacture of paracetamol tablets involved in these taweez which work. It is only shirk if someone believes the taweez itself gave protection or the cure, similarly it is shirk if someone believes the paracetamol itself cured someone. Trying to make people mushriks when they may not be is a dangerous habit.
