Pain Relief - Children

There are many different types of pain. Our pharmacist will help you choose the right pain-killer for your child.

• Give paracetamol to relieve pain and fever particularly after vaccination.
• Do not give painkillers regularly unless under the supervision of your child's doctor.
• Combining different painkillers can cause overdose. Ask your pharmacist for advice.
• Keep to the recommended dose and read the information on the label carefully.
• Extra doses do not give more effective pain relief.
• Reducing fever in a child can be helped by a cool bath.
• If your child has a fever or pain which is not controlled by paracetamol, ask our pharmacist for advice.
