Pain killing drugs for children's minor discomforts?
Make your own mind up if you think it's a wise road road to go down.
Calpol etc can be GENUINELY life saving drugs for children. Young children CANNOT regulate their body temperature so when they get ill and get a fever that have no ability to control it that's when you HAVE to give them antipyretic drugs like these it can LITERALLY save a life.
I take it you know what happens when someone overheats thru a fever you know febrile convulsions and eventual death?
You obviously don't have kids and if you do have kids by God do I feel sorry for them if you have that attitude to HELPING them. I agree that they should not be just given for every silly thing but when you have a small child running a fever or screaming in pain you have to help them.
Please engage brain before lambasting loving parents next time, there's a good chap
