can i have paracetamol

[elliemcx]

Hi everyone,

bad cold, a bit achy and
sore throat. Can i take lemsip, it has 500mg of paracetamol.

Thanks

Paracetamol on its own, yes. Lemsip no because of the decongestant.

Paracetamol is safe in pregnancy, i'm not sure about the lemsip though. I was told by my Dr to just make a honey and lemon and take normal paracetamol when i had a cold ect

If it’s the lemsip with only paracetamol in, that’s fine. If it’s the one with other stuff in (I think it’s the max flu one) then no

I got told absolutley nothing apart from paracetamol and jakemans sweets for sore throat etc

Thanks ladies, i got the one with only paracetamol. There doesn't seem to be any other medicinal ingredients. Thanks again
