Jackson has a chest infection and has been given AntiBs for it. He also has a (sorry TMI) snotty nose and general grumpiness.
Anyways, can I give him paracetamol or Ibuprofen at the same time as the AB's? Or do I stagger them apart? ------------- Our Angel July 08  Gone but not forgotten

They are all fine together - no interaction at all
I give nurofen three times a day and then paracetamol if my girl appears a little un settled and at bedtime for an extra boost providing she hasnt had paracetamol for more than 4 hours Especially for the first 48 hours until the anitbiotics have kicked in and they are feeling better ------------- http://lilypie.com]

When Jake had tonsilitis for the first 48 hours we were doing nurofen every 8 hours and pamol every 6 hours and his AB's had to be 30 minutes before food or and hour after so either before or after breakfast, lunch and dinner (depending on snacks and bf). -------------

Thats exactly how the pain relief should be done! (sorry 10 years in pharmacy - but what melnel does it perfect) but the ABs may state with food so in that case straight after food - they cant all be taken on an empty tum ------------- http://lilypie.com]
