Ausgirl - I wanted the Phernergan to *maybe* help dry up her drool (there is bucket loads of it!) and Pain Stop is stronger than paracetamol, it contain codeine. She was actually prescribed antibiotics for suspected tonsillitis late yesterday but ended up in emergency this morning as she had an allergic reaction (severe hives) to either the penicillin in the antibiotics or the codeine in the Pain Stop. The ED doctor prescribed her Phernergan for the hives. Ironic hey. I'm just SO glad she's ok and the reaction didn't effect (or make it to) her throat.
