Remind me is it ok to do this for a 4yr old?
Diagnosed with scarlet fever today and prescribed penicillin but only 2 doses in. Struggling with a sore throat and high temp so I want to give some nurofen to get temp down. I can’t remember what the GP advised!

Yes of course. Completely different medicines.
