  • Is Nurofen better than Calpol?

    Nurofen and Calpol are both over-the-counter medications used to relieve pain and fever in children. Both medications are generally safe and well-tolerated, but they have different mechanisms of action and different side effects.

    Nurofen contains ibuprofen. Nurofen is effective for relieving pain from a variety of conditions, including headache, toothache, earache, muscle pain, and sprains and strains. It can also lower a high body temperature.

    Calpol contains paracetamol. Calpol is effective for relieving fever and pain from a variety of conditions, including headache, toothache, earache, and muscle pain.

    Which medication is better for your child depends on the specific condition and your child's individual needs:

    • For fever, Calpol is generally the first-line treatment. It is safe for children of all ages and is less likely to cause side effects than Nurofen.
    • For pain, Nurofen may be more effective than Calpol. This is because Nurofen is an NSAID and NSAIDs are more effective at relieving pain from inflammation.
    • If your child is vomiting, Nurofen may be a better choice than Calpol. Calpol can irritate the stomach and make vomiting worse.
    • If your child has asthma, Nurofen should be used with caution. NSAIDs can trigger asthma attacks in some children.

    It is important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist about which medication is right for your child. They can help you to weigh the risks and benefits of each medication and choose the best option for your child's individual needs.
