How do you alternate between calpol and nurofen?
Fever isn't coming down with calpol and I'm unsure of how long to leave between doses when using both?

I would try and make sure that you give neurofen with or after a meal as can be harsher on their wee tummies x
Thank you so much for the helpful advice
Hi, I realise this was 2 days ago.. but ibuprofen can not be given in less than 6 to 8 hours intervals. Calpol is fine every 4 hours, but ibuprofen isn't.
Give capol, they then can't have capol for another 4 hours. 2 hours after giving capol you can give the ibuprofen. So if at 8am you gave capol, you'd give ibuprofen at 10am, more capol at 12pm, more ibuprofen at 2pm, capol at 4pm, ibuprofen at 6pm. Hope that helps :)
