    'Pain Stop' has paracetamol and codiene ... ask dr or pharmascist if child under 2yrs

    Check eveything in your box and if it has 'paracetomol' alone it is equivelent to 'Panadol'

    Nurofen : ibuprufen is an anti inflammatory tablet great for inflammed tonsils ears teeth and it brings down fevers

    Codiene: is a opiate based analgesia which is quite strong and some kids and adults are allergic or get a reaction by a rash all over body, welts, itchy hives ..... if this happens dont give again til you see you GP/Pharmacist.

    Also in your cupboard there should be either phenergan and / or Dimetapp for allergic reactions ie if your family has a reaction to the Painstop.

    What you can use in combination: Paracetamol and nurofen and phenergan
    Painstop and nurofen and phenergan/Dimetapp if needed

    XXX Painstop with phenergan watch the young ones as they can get very drowsy XXX

    I hope i have explained it ok

    Thanks bubno.3. I have claratyne in the cupboard instead of phenergan. Chemist said it would be better for drowsiness
