2-month-old baby Calpol dosage?
⚡ Short answer: A 2-month-old should never be given Calpol (paracetamol) or any medicine without a doctor's prescription; dosage and need are only set by the pediatrician who examines your baby.

I understand your first time with a 2-month-old feels overwhelming. But this is where I need to be very clear: never give a 2-month-old fever reducer or painkiller (like Calpol/paracetamol) without a doctor's prescription.
Medicine doses are based on age, weight, and health condition. Wrong dosing can cause real problems. If your baby has a fever (38°C or higher, armpit temperature) or is uncomfortable, the right move is to call a pediatrician right away.
At this age, fever can sometimes signal a serious infection. Other symptoms (lethargy, poor feeding, rash, vomiting) matter too. If his fever is 38°C+, don't wait — call your pediatrician or go to urgent care. Only a doctor who has examined him can decide whether to use any medicine, and if so, what dose.
I can't tell you a dosage — that responsibility belongs only to your baby's doctor.
