Too much Calpol
My baby boy got his 8 week immunisation yesterday and the dr said to give him calpol every 4 hours and I am dyslexic and when I read the bottle it says to give no more than 4 doses but that’s in 3-6 months and 2 month olds should only have 2 doses per 24 hours so he’s had 2 extra doeses. He seems fine but should I ring 111?

My little boy was having 2.5ml calpol every 5 hours at 6 weeks old with a doctors ok so i wouldn’t stress they only say 2 doses in 24hr incase you mask a fever that needs hospital treatment obviously you know that your little one doesn’t x
i work for 111; def call if you’re concerned but he will most likely be fine! just watch out for any unusual symptoms x
Oh perfect thank you so much everyone this is really helpful and has eased the stress obviously I’m still keeping an eye on him just incase Xx

My LG had her injections yesterday and they said to ignore what is on the calpol box. My GP told me to give 3 doses and the 4th if she has a temperature, so i wouldn’t worry x
