Infant gaviscon and calpol

Hi all,
So we have been prescribed infant gaviscon which seems to be helping my 3.5 month olds reflux. Tonight she seems to be having awful teething pain so I decided to give her some calpol. I then realised she had been on the gaviscon all day. At they ok to use together? Any help much appreciated!

We used them together for DD with no issue. We found that children's ibuprofen helped more with teething as it calmed down swelling

I can't see why there'd be a problem, but there should still be pharmacies open at this time, maybe call and check?

They're fine, they are completely different drugs. One is for reflux and one is for pain.
