How Safe Is Taking Nurofen And Calpol For High Temperature And Loss Of Appetite?
Hi, I m a bit concerned about my 9mth old who has had a high temp all day and been off her food since yesterday. I have been giving her 2.5 ml nurofen and 5ml calpol at 2 hourly intervals but it is a struggle to keep it below 38. She also has really cold hands and feet.
