Calpol for temperature


Tiger

Recommended Posts

Hi i know its a strange question.

But since my 6yr son has suspected PANDAS (18months ago) he's not really ever had a temperature will illness. When he was toddler I always give him calpol for fever .

But now I'm wondering if with the PANDAS perhaps I should let the body do what to needs to perhaps the fever would helping his immune system work things out a bit?

Scrap the calpol or keep it for comfort?

Tiger,

That is not a strange question at all. I'm thinking that most on the forum probably don't realize that calpol is acetaminophen. I think you will find that the geneal concenses is that ibuprofen is the preferred NSAID if you are going to use one, due to it's reputation of being anti inflammatory.

Acetaminophen also depletes glutathione and sulfur levels. My family strictly avoids it now.

 

You might find this interesting to read through regarding Acetaminophen

I'm going to let parents that are certain they are dealing with a pandas/pans situation give you suggestions there.
