DD has a v. high tgemperature which the doc thinks is the result of a viral infection, also has conjunctivitis. So is currently taking a cocktail of calpol/nurofen (obv. not at exactly same time - staggered) to cope with the fever, and antibiotic eyedrops for the conjunctivitis. My query is, doc said probably her congested nose at the root of all the symptoms. I have medised here, which is paracetomol and anti-histamine, and wondered whether I could substitute medised for the calpol, since it has decongestent and also helps with sleep, or would it be better to stick with the calpol/nurofen mix as suggested by doc? It just didn't occur to me when at the surgery yesterday, to ask this.
Also - I know that probiotics are recommended when oral antibiotics are prescribed, but does this apply to eye drops, which obviously don't effect gut? Probably I've answered my own question there.
