Dr Phil Kieran: How much Calpol or Nurofen can I give a child?

"I always tell parents to think of these two medicines separately. It is crucial not to overdose the child."

'For example, if the thermometer reads 38.5C but the child is in good form, there's usually no need to reach for medication.'

How much? How frequently? And which one? I’m asked these questions weekly.
