Calpol 250 Oral Suspension contains paracetamol (250 mg). Let's dive into how it works:

• Prostaglandin Inhibition: Paracetamol acts by limiting the production of prostaglandins in the body. Prostaglandins are chemicals that send pain signals and trigger inflammation in our body. By inhibiting these chemicals, paracetamol effectively reduces pain and inflammation.
• Fever Reduction: Aside from managing pain, paracetamol also targets the heat-regulating centre in the brain. It causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) on the skin surface, promotes sweating, and dissipates heat from the body. This process helps in lowering your child's body temperature when they have a fever.

• Store Calpol 250 Oral Suspension at room temperature, not exceeding 30°C.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, heat, and moisture.
• Ensure the medicine is stored in a place out of your child's reach.
• Do not freeze.

• Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids when they have a fever. This helps prevent dehydration which can worsen symptoms.
• For conditions like toothache, offer soft foods that require less chewing. This can help reduce discomfort for your child while eating.
