Are you one of the half of all parents who administer incorrect doses of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol?

Results show that too often parents are using ibuprofen and paracetamol to bring children’s temperatures under control.

The American Academy of Paediatrics has released new research to show the rise in a Childs temperature during illness is actually a physiological mechanism that has beneficial effects in fighting infection.

Cooling a child down in a bath or shower and removing some clothing is a better first option, which has no side effects.

Mild fevers are those under 40 degrees.
