Which other med can you use with calpol for high temp?

[brokebuthappy]

Ds has a virus and is really unwell.Doctor said his ear us alittle red but not bad enough to have abs.I know there is something else you can give with calpol but can't remember what,any ideas please.

nurofen can be given inbetween paracetomol doses.

nurofen for kids ? helps with inflammation too

Nurofen-alternate with the Calpol.
I give dd calpol at say 8am,Nurofen at 10am then calpol again at 12 noon.

This is probably a little over what is recommended-I believe you can give Nurofen twice for every 4 doses of paracetamol.

i thought you could give nurofen at the same time as calpol?

AFAIK both can be given together.

calpol also do calprofen as well or u can ask the pharmacy to give u their own infant ibuprofen solution........its quite cheaper but works exactly the same

You can give both together if needed. The advantage of alternating them is that you can get better 'coverage' over 24hours IYSWIM

only 2.5ml doses for ibuprofen if under 2 years old

Thanks everybody.I knows i could count on you lot.

I was told by a& e to give calpol 4 hourly and nurofen 8 hourly
