Advice

In the treatment of fever in children, when paracetamol is used at a dose of 60 mg per kg per day, the addition of aspirin or its use in alternation with paracetamol is useless, as aspirin does not provide additional fever reduction.

Heavy sweating usually accompanies the drop in temperature when treating high fevers. This is normal.

Effervescent tablets should be stored away from moisture and heat.
