Fever and chest infection

Hi All,

My DD has a chest infection and was given Amoxil (anti-biotics). She also has had diaherroa and now has a high temperature of 37.8.

Should I give her panadol? is it safe to give this with antibiotics?

Thanks in advanced!

i wouldnt class 37.8 as i "high" temp as such but it is a little raised. I dont see why u couldnt give her panadol while on anti biotics.. but dont take my word for it.

I hope she gets better soon

Yeh i just read up and 38+ would be high not 37.8. Somehow i'd forgotten what was considered high temperature =)

Thanks for the response. I might ask my doc tomorrow.
