Giving panadol and then throwing up...give panadol again?

[~ Mylitta ~]

Just in case it ever happens in the future again, you can give nurofen as well. Nurofen and Panadol are completely different drugs and can be used together, so if you give one and then the child vomits, you can give the other if you are worried they threw up the first drug.

Hope the little man is feeling better

Thanks Mylitta! I did wonder about the panadol/nurofen combo, I've never given both at the same time..

In relation to the flea situation:

The doc said the bumps were flea bites, but we don't have pets

We had a flea infestation this time 2 years ago and we live in an apartment, no pets and only moved in 6 months before the outbreak. After a bit of googling, I discovered they can lay dormant in the carpet as eggs for a few years. The usual time they come out again is in spring, the little buggers like the warmer weather. If you are relatively new to your place you could be suffering from a similar thing.
Interestingly, only my DH and DD1 were bitten. DD2 and I never had a problem. I actually didn't believe them at first because I saw no evidence of the fleas.
