Giving Calpol & Ibuprofen together at same time
We went to the out of hours doctor last night and the GP said to give our 18 month old 5ml Calpol and 5ml Ibuprofen, as per what they used to do back in the day - I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this or it in have done it in the past?
It brought our girls temperature of 38.8 down like a shot, and actually let her sleep through the night! She didn't sleep until 4:30am yesterday morning, so it's been a struggle and we welcomed it!

Both together is absulutely fine if temperature doesn't come down with just one or alternating each xx
Yes we were told to us both together when our little boy had croup.. you can use both as they are different medicines one is paracetamol the other is ibuprofen xx
Yeah can use them together, think they recommend an hour between each but when she’s really ill I give both! X
