Ladies and Gents,

Can I give my 5 year old any paracetemol instead of Calpol? He’s got a teperature and we’ve got none left!

I’m off to the 24hr petrol station to see if they have any.

Cheers

Calpol IS paracetemol?

Box of Calpol says 2 x 5 ml for 4-6 year olds so this equals 240 mg of paracetamol or roughly 1/2 a 500mg tablet.

Hope that helps

I know that, just not how much!

Cheers, Managaed to get some, but thanks for the help. It’s freezing out there
