How to stagger neurofen & calpol

[BFPDec21]

DC came home ill yesterday evening and the fever is stubborn. I feel like I'm coming down with something and my brain is not engaging at all to work out the timings which seem too far apart but need to cover nights too as the fever is creeping up quickly.

How do you stagger doses?

You can give 4 doses of Calpol and 3 of Nurofen in 24 hours so I usually alternate between them with a 3.5 hour gap such as:

2.30 paracetamol
6.00 ibuprofen
9.30 paracetamol
1.00 ibuprofen
4.30 paracetamol
8.00 ibuprofen
11.30 paracetamol

Hope you're both feeling better soon
