how quick should calpol/nurofen work.

[cherryredretrochick]

dd2 is 20mths and has a temp of 39.8 gave calpol and nurofen 30mins ago and has not come down at all. When should I start to panic?

Had a very bumpy night, she woke up with a weird blistery rash, is nearly back to normal this morning still a bit of a temp but nothing alarming. rash gone as well. I think it may have been an allergic reation to a bite of something. They bloody scare you at times though don't they.

Glad she's on the mend - it is so terrifying - I don't think I'll ever get used to it!

glad she's getting better.

You should speak to the doctor about what you think was an allergic reaction.

I’m new to mumsnet so not to sure how to works. I’m just looking for some advice, my little girl had chest infection in December she’s has had a lot of phylum since, tonight she is screaming and can’t seem to get rid of this cough, she is defiantly not her self tonight I have giving her calpol not long ago.
Any advice?
