Description

Calpol Infant Suspension Sachets, 12 Sachets

Calpol Infant Suspension Sachets are convenient on the go, strawberry flavored solution to help relieve pain and control fever symptoms in infants aged over 2 months.

Calpol Infant Suspension Sachets contain paracetamol 120mg/5ml, a clinically proven analgesic and antipyretic used to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain in infants from 2 months of age. Calpol Infant Suspension Sachets are an oral pediatric analgesic and antipyretic formulation containing paracetamol (acetaminophen) 120mg/5ml, indicated for the short-term management of fever and mild-to-moderate pain in infants and young children.

How Calpol Infant Suspension Works

Paracetamol works primarily by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system, reducing pain perception and lowering body temperature via action on the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre. Unlike NSAIDs, it has minimal anti-inflammatory activity, making it gentler for infants.

High Temperature in Children

A high temperature is very common in young children. The temperature usually returns to normal within 3 or 4 days.

A normal temperature in babies and children is about 36.4C, but this can vary slightly from child to child.

A high temperature is 38C or more.

A high temperature is the body’s natural response to fighting infections like coughs and colds.

Many things can cause a high temperature in children, from common childhood illnesses like chickenpox and tonsillitis, to vaccinations.

Your child might:

  • feel hotter than usual when you touch their back or chest
  • feel sweaty
  • look or feel unwell

Use a digital thermometer, which you can buy from pharmacies and supermarkets, to take your child’s temperature.

You can usually look after your child or baby at home. The temperature should go down over 3 or 4 days.

DO’s

  • give them plenty of fluids

  • look out for signs of dehydration

  • give them food if they want it

  • check on your child regularly during the night

  • keep them at home

  • give them paracetamol if they’re distressed or unwell

  • get medical advice if you’re worried about your child

DON’Ts

  • do not undress your child or sponge them down to cool them, a high temperature is a natural and healthy response to infection

  • do not cover them up in too many clothes or bedclothes

  • do not give aspirin to children under 16 years of age

  • do not combine ibuprofen and paracetamol, unless a GP tells you to

  • do not give paracetamol to a child under 2 months
