Good timing as I have been saying to DH the last few days "are we giving it to DD too much? What do others do?"!!!

I give nurafen mainly because it lasts longer and because DD usually needs it for teething pain rather than fever. Trouble is her teething comes and goes for weeks and sometimes months before a tooth comes through and she feels a lot of pain in that time. There have been times when I have given her one or two doses in 24hours for maybe a week at a time just for teething pain as she cant sleep and is absolutely miserable. If it's daytime I try to only use teething gel though as I really feel its not good to give her too much medication. I have tried the natural Brauers teething relief and it didnt seem to do much for her.

If she is unwell and has a fever I give it to her as she is always miserable and very grizzly but after the first few days when it turns to just a runny nose etc she doesnt have it.

I have rarely given it repeatedly when the dosage wears off, perhaps two doses in a row in the evening/night but no more than that and I have never given both panadol and nurafen. I wasnt aware you could and certainly wouldnt give myself it. I feel bad enough giving demazin and nurafen and teething gel at once!!!

ETA: Last week she had the flu and a temp of around 38 to 38.5 for 6days. I gave her 2 or 3 doses a day for that whole time so she could rest at night (she still woke up to 5times). She had been checked by the GP who said "just a cold - do the usual panadol, rest, etc".
