i tend to put karvol and baby olbas oil onto a wet tea towel and put it on the radiator in his room when my lo has a cold - my mum always says not to let the air get too dry in his room when he has a cold anyway, and this is a great way of getting some menthol into the air. you can alternate calpol (paracetemol) with ibuprofen suspension so that effectively she is getting something every couple of hours. i used to only give calpol as and when needed, but by the time it kicks in he's worked himself up and the pain has got the better of him. when he was poorly over christmas the GP said that while he's ill, keep him dosed up every 4 hours during the day, even if he seems ok. this worked for a couple of days, although i'm pleased to say he seems better now and is back off the calpol. speak to pharmacist about alternating between the two medicines, and get an appointment with GP - they won't mind checking her over for you even if you were only there a couple of weeks ago - puts your mind at rest too. hope she settles better tonight for you xx
