Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi dear, I had gone through your question and understand your concern. I don't recommend you to use combination of Paracetamol and Nimesulid(Sumo) to your small child.Sometime this medicine can cause inflammation of intestine with diarrhea, can affect liver and kidneys. I suggest Calpol (syrup of Paracetamol), it is very effective, but it should be used only when temperature is more then 100F. In other cases, keep her hydrated with plenty of water or ORS.
Wishing your baby good health.
