Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Calpol contains Paracetamol. So giving Paracetamol and then Calpol is the same. When you give medicine to your baby the dosage should be according to the weight of your baby. Kindly specify the weight of your kid and give correct dosage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
