My DS is 4 months (almost 4), and seems to be teething. He is generally ok during the day, but in the evening when he's getting tired the pain seems to trouble him. we've been giving him infant paracetamol, just one dose in the evening, and that seems to work. However, the box says that the medicine should not be given for more than 3 days without speaking to a doctor or pharmacist.
Would this still apply if he's only getting 1 dose per day (max allowed is 4, I think)? Does anyone know what the 3-day limit is for? Nothing else is as good for getting rid of the pain, so I really would like to have the option of giving it to him
I'm going to go to the chemist in the morning and ask, but wondered whether anyone could advise me in the meantime? Thanks!
