Hi Doctor! We are on a holiday to Oman and my son, aged 7 years has fever. He was prescribed Advil and after two doses at 8 hour interval, his temp. increased from 102.7 to 103.8. Can we give calpol in addition to Advil as we are concerned about increased temperature? Thanks..

Hi,
You can give him calpol instead of advil to your son.
Both have same action.
Important is to give plenty of water and liquid to get more perspiration leading to bring down temperature.
Ok and take care.
