can I give cough meds and nurofen or calpol ?

[melsy]

Poor little ones suffering , keeps crying sorrowfully at me. When she coughs she cries.

Medised is very good for coughs. Nurofen is good for temperature and calpol is good for general crappyness... HTH and your little one gets better

thanx Nip , saving Medised for bight time bed time , so Im not gicving it too much. Her temp has gone down since last night, it was scarily high, but shes cool for now.
May be tixylix and calpol then for day nap?

sorry not tixylix , meltus for babys. Tixylix is for my older dd1.

You can give calpol and nurofen but you need to stagger the times you give them...

Give the calopl first then 3/4 hours later the nurofen then 3/4 later calpol again..... check on the bottle or call pharmasist if you are unsure of how much to give and when.

I've not overly used tixylix for my DS, but when he was v.ill over christmas with an awful cold/cough etc Medised worked wonders. It didnt make him too sleepy either... personally i'd give it as per the instructions throughout the day.

Good Luck, isnt horrible isnt it

Sorry i meant... it's horrible isnt it?

thanx mellowmama , its more the combi of calpol / cough meds Im needing to know about. I just cant remember.

If the cough medicine contains paracetamol then dont' give it with calpol. It will say on teh box if it contains it

ahh didnt see u there , medised makes my girls drowsey , so wanted to keep for bed times.
