Does a 2-month-old take Calpol? I wanted to get your opinion before going to the doctor.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The active ingredient in Calpol is paracetamol. Whether to use it on a 2-month-old is something only your doctor decides after examining your baby. Don't give any medicine — especially fever or pain relievers — at this age without medical guidance.

If your baby has a fever and it's 38°C or higher, I actually recommend going straight to urgent care or calling emergency services at this age. A fever in a 2-month-old is always urgent. Don't try Calpol first; get a doctor involved immediately.

Before giving any medicine, always talk to your pediatrician.
