Yes, you can give paracetamol to your child, but it's important to follow the correct dosage and timing guidelines.
Here's a breakdown of when and how to administer paracetamol:
-
When to Give Paracetamol: If your child has a high temperature or is experiencing pain that comes and goes, consider giving them paracetamol when they first complain of feeling unwell or feeling pain.
-
Dosage and Timing:
- Wait at least 4 to 6 hours between doses.
- Do not give your child more than 4 doses in a 24-hour period.
-
Important Considerations: Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by a doctor or pharmacist, as dosages vary depending on your child's age and weight.
