I'm not sure Ivana... I give it to Kynan if he seems really unsettled or in pain or he's had a really high temp for a while but that hasn't been often at all. If you are reluctant to try panadol maybe you could try something else first... I know Brauers does a cough & cold relief thing. I haven't tried it but the teething one works well for Kynan so it might help?
