First jags calpol advice
My baby boy had his first jags today. We gave him calpol right after them to prevent a fever. It’s now been 8 hours, Iv checked his temp and it’s at 37.3 so not got a fever but il be keeping an eye on it. How is everyone doing the calpol ? Did anyone else just do the one dose and then monitor and only give more if a fever started or have you automatically done more doses every 4-6 hours ? I’m not sure if I should be giving him more or just wait and see and give more if needed ?

The nurse advised that we give 3 doses all together, even if they seem okay
Iv just given him another dose, I figured I’d rather prevent than treat and since I know another dose won’t do him any harm
I was told to give the 3 doses to prevent fever even if no symptoms.
I done it for the first 24 hours and then stopped giving her it, even tho she didn’t get a fever or sore thankfully. Xx
Because of these ones specifically causing a temp you are to give 3 doses total. The nurses should’ve advised you that along with the health visitor. It’s to help present a temp and if calpol doesn’t stop the temp that’s when you go to docs/hospital x
I was told give 3 doses 4-6hrs apart to prevent a fever
3 doses as per nurses advice

i’d personally just give it as and when it’s needed. with a 4-6 hour gap. my little boy only had the three doses to help with the aching in his legs as he didn’t run any temperature or any other side effects.
