My understanding is that current advice is that you shouldn't rush to give Calpol for low fevers. Can anyone confirm please or link to any guidance? If my DC is with my mother, she tends to give Calpol at the first sign of being a bit warm because she "doesn't want to risk the temperature getting higher". I've told her that I'm more comfortable with keeping an eye on, say, a sniffle and a slight temp (unless DC is complaining of pain and/or discomfort). However, I'm not good at standing my ground with my mother, so I'd be grateful for a second opinion.
