I know, I'm 37 and should know the answer to this!

[saltirehangingonachristmastree]

DS1 has a horrible snotty nose and says he feels very headachey!. have given him some sudafed to clear the nose. Am I correct in thinking I can't give him Medised with the Sudafed? I know I should know, but my mind has gone blank

[FairyOnTopOfTheChristmasTree]

i think you are right as it would be a double dose of decongestant.

[saltirehangingonachristmastree]

Right, will just give him some calpol pr nurofen instead then. Thought that was right, just needed someone else to confirm

[ProjectIcarus]

They both have paracetemol on them I think. As does calpol. Be wary.

[saltirehangingonachristmastree]

It's ok though,as the Sudafed doesn't have paracetamol in it. He's just had some calpol, and is currently in a warm bath!

[HereComeTheGirls]

Medised doesn't contain a decongestant, but an antihistamine

[saltirehangingonachristmastree]

Well he had 5mls of sudafed at 6pm, along with some calpol, 10mls of that. He's just gone to bed having had some nurofen stuff.

[squimlet]

you should be ok then. Just dont mix two lots of paracetamol/decongestant/neurofen.

you and take the paracetamol and the neurofen togeather if needs be though
