ok that's your opinion. my life my child i'll do what i like....

panodol and nurophen

Did you read that advice?

I just rang my doctor and he said not to ever do that because it can cause lots of complications like liver failure, dehydration and an upset tummy.

He was very very adamant that it is VERY dangerous for the child.

So if I was you I would not be doing that.

panodol and nurophen

well then why has it been suggested to me by numerous medical professionals....my gp and emergency doctors and nurses.

panadol and nurofen at the same time is a NO NO NO NO

NEVER EVER EVER give your child both at the same time

How about you read this

charlotte has a high temp

Are you giving panadol or ibuprofen? If you are and her temp is still 40 degrees C then you need to take her to the hospital.

When a childs temp (especially at such a young age) rises to quickly and to usually above 39-40 they can have a febral convulsion. This is usually harmless but it can be dangerous.

I would recommend either panadol or ibuprofen every 4-6 hours as directed and if her temp doesn't go down to around 38 take her to the emergency and do not leave, though they will usually take a high temperature seriously.

Good Luck and please let us know what you do and how she is.

Well Wishes

I belive in this big time

I don't give my son panadole unless hes temp is over 5 degrees over normal temp and then only half a dose. If I am worried that he's uncomfortable I give him a tepid bath.

the whole reason our bodys get temps is this is how our bodies fight bugs so if you keep killing the temp the body carn't fight off the bug and we stay sick.

i don't wan't to scare you but shayne's sisters kid had a temp and it got to 41 and he started convusing so in half an hour if panadol and cooling methods haven't helped straight to emergency. good luck and i hope charlotte gets better real soon

yes panadol

georgiepar — Fri, 25 May 2007 06:26:00 -0700

hi hunni

yes give her panadol and alternate with nurophen every three hours different ingredients in these products so this can be done and is heaps better than panadol alone... but definatly get her seen by someone else no way it's a headache.. emergency room definatly. if this is where you when b4 then demand u see another doctor. plz let us know how you go

If you have been dosing her up on panadol etc and she is still having a high temp I would take her to the emergency center.It doesn't sound good at all Hugs Crystal let us know how you go

Hi there! I went through this on Wednesday. I would take her to the doctors if its still open or if not take her in the morning. For now give panadol to break the fever and remove some of clothing until she breaks her temp. Give her water and lots of it if you can or weak cordial. I dont believe it would be a headache but i wouldnt no. I would get a second opion dont just leave it a t that. Please take care and let me know the out come.
