If your child is currently taking Calpol 250 Syrup (paracetamol 250 mg/5 ml), alternatives with the same medicine include Dolo 250 suspension, Paracip 250 suspension, Pyrigesic DS suspension, and Dolopar 250 suspension. They work equally well for reducing fever and relieving pain. The correct paracetamol dose is usually based on the child's body weight, generally 10-15 mg per kg per dose, which can be given every 4-6 hours if needed, with a maximum of 4 doses in 24 hours. Always use the measuring and dosing instructions carefully, avoid giving more than one paracetamol-containing medicine at the same time, and consult your paediatrician for the exact dose based on your child's age and weight, especially if the fever lasts more than 2-3 days or the child develops vomiting, poor feeding, breathing difficulty, or unusual sleepiness.
