Emma, if you are giving her the correct dosage, then she should be fine to have it for a few days while she gets over the worst of it. IKWYM about not being really keen on giving it to her, but I think at this stage she needs something to help her relax a little and catch up on some sleep. You wouldn't have to give it to her strictly every 4 or 8hrs, (depending on if you give her the panadol or nurofen), but just when you think it is really paining her and at night when she needs to settle.
