Panadol urgent help

[Isadora]

DD is teething pretty dreadfully at the moment, so I tried to give her a dose of panadol just before bed. Well the cheeky monkey spat half of it out!! So I've put her to bed with a little bit of Brauers, If she wakes shortly & needs something stronger, I'm a bit uneasy about giving her more panadol as I dont know how much exactly she took in. So my question is, can I give her nurofen instead?

panadol & nurofen work in different ways - so you can alternate them.

BUT! if you're really worried, call the health nurse hotline.

Yes you can, no problem at all. Hope you don't need to though!

yeah you'll be fine to give her Nurofen. Panadol and Nurofen are made of different medicines, I used to use them together and Panadol would ease a fever and Nurofen would calm inflamation

Thanks girls, I thought so, but my DP is away tonight and usually he is the one to reassure me that I am doing the right thing! lol.

You've probably tried everything but thought I'd ask if you've any gum numbing gel? Bonjela etc? like what was suggested earlier too, if ever in doubt, you can call the medical hotline. Hope your little one stays in dreamy world for you and her

I give my DD nurofen, it works really well. poor little girl. I also use SM-33 gel on my DD, I hope it's not too bad of a night, thinking of you xx
