    I personally found that DS was better with nurofen for this illness, it made him more settled than the panadol. The Dr said he had a red throat, so maybe the anti-inflam properties of the nurofen were better for my DS. I was not sure about the overlaping panadol and nurofen, but for two doses, I did it. But whatever you feel comfortable with.
    And if you cant get his temp down, call the DR. xo

    Last time DD had a temp like that the Dr had me give 1/2 dose panadol & 1/2 nurofen at the same time and then every 4 hrs after...temp came down after 2nd dosing and she was calmer too...Hope your DS is feeling better soon...would he have ice or frozen fruit.
