DS2 (6) has a cold and bit of a temperature so I gave him Ibuprofen after his tea - I have just got him ready for bed and it looks like he has chicken pox.
That's fine as a few other children at his school have had them in the last month but I have just read on the NHS site that you should only give paracetamol and not ibuprofen! Can anyone explain why and if he will be OK?
Thanks
