Overdosed ds in calpol

[MuteDS]

WHAT is wrong with me. I do everything wrong !
I was so carful but not sure how I done one single over dose
Doses
8pm sat
1am Sun
9am sun
1pm sun
8pm sun
Mon 5am

just realised that’s 5 doses in 24 hrs 🤦‍♀️
does this sound right ?

Nope it isn’t.

Think of the 24 period being 8pm until 7:59pm. He got 4 doses. No issue at all.

Come off it. It's fine. What an inflammatory title for a post.

Hope DS feels better soon and you get some rest to stop fretting.

You have more than 6 hours between doses the half life in healthy people is 8 hours on average so I personally wouldn’t worry about your doses and timing however, I am not a Dr either. Just a Mum who had to use calpol a lot as my DC was preterm and their fevers spiked a lot.

What is wrong with him? Why are you giving him Calpol?

My DC was preterm and their hypothalamus wasn’t properly developed so regulating their own body temperature for the first 4 years of their life was problematic if they got a virus. The NICU consultant told us to alternate between calpol and ibuprofen.

It’s fine, the 24 hours is resetting at 8pm.

No you only did 4. Even if you'd done 5 it's not really that big a deal. It's Calpol not morphine

No you haven’t, you’re fine. The 8pm Sunday dose was the start of the next 24 hours so it’s all good. Hope your son is better soon.

You haven't done anything wrong, there's no overdosing, you can give it at 4-6 hourly intervals provided you only give four doses a day. Hope he feels better soon.

Be a little kinder please. The OP clearly hasn't slept much and was worried. Most of us with young DC have been there. There's no need to tick her off like that.
