Fever in a 2-month-old needs to be taken seriously. If your baby's fever is 38°C or higher, don't give Calpol or any medicine first — call 112 or go to the ER immediately. A 2-month-old with fever always needs urgent evaluation.
Calpol (paracetamol) dosing is calculated per kilogram of body weight and set only by your doctor. Taking advice from your mother-in-law or internet sources is risky. Fever relief doses are precise, and dosing wrong at this age can be dangerous.
What to do: measure your baby's temperature, note any other signs (lethargy, poor feeding, rash, vomiting), and if fever is present or your baby seems unwell, go to the ER. The doctor will examine him and decide if any medicine is needed and what dose.
