What Experts Say

Paracetamol works by reducing the production of certain chemicals in the brain that cause fever and pain. It is one of the most commonly recommended medicines for children because of its strong safety record when dosed correctly.

The dose for children is based on body weight, not age alone, so parents should use the measuring cup or syringe provided with the suspension rather than a regular kitchen spoon. Giving too much paracetamol can seriously harm the liver.

Doctors advise checking any other cold or fever medicine a child is taking, since many combination products already contain paracetamol. Giving two products together can accidentally lead to an overdose.
