Whats the right quantities and timings for calpol and ibuprofen?

[kbaby]

DS is 6 months and has a temp of 38-39c calpol is controlling it a bit but not enough.

I know I can give calpol and ibuprofen together but dont know how

help

calpol can be given every 4 hrs. ibuprofen every 6 hrs. so if you are taking them together give them alternately every 3 hours. don't know dosage off hand for 6 mth old.

dosage is half a teaspoon.

i thought dosage was different for calpol and ibuprofen... that might just be for older children tho'.

sorry - that's the dose for Calpol.

TBH, I'm not sure I'd give them together to a 6 month old baby though.

what does anyone else think? should I give both.

Ive given him a tepid bath and his temp is down slightly. The gp said its just a virus and to keep him cool.

Problem is hes burning up every hr or so.

I would give him both but follow dosage...
