Doesnt suprise me I was having a similar conversation if they renamed calpol to paracetamol it would make more people less likely to give it out for anything
When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

Thank you for sharing Christine! x

My nurse told me this when I took my dd for her jabs , she said don't give it unless she NEEDS it, which I don't but no ppl who give it just incase after jabs !

I heard this nearly 2years ago from my sister who is a nurse in Canada. Parents use it way too much.

Yikes! I was advised to give all of mine a dose of cal pol before their first jabs, was a long time ago now though 16,14 & 12 yrs

I've always believed that if you take painkillers without just cause, when you need them, your body will have become 'immune' and then they just 'don't work'.
I know that paracetamol reduces temperatures, so usually only give if a child's temp is 39.0+. However I do appreciate that it is also a painkiller, so if I believe a child could be feeling unwell, then I tend to give it then too.
