If your baby has fever, how long do you wait till you give Nurofen? I'm always worried about Nurofen. Especially after reading all the stories about Steven Johnson Syndrome.

Do not give nurofen until a doctor has prescribe your child the nurofen. Babies below 6 months are not to take nerofen. Usually whatever the temperature is, i will administer panadol first to bring down the temperature. After 4 hours from panadol, if the temperature is still 38.5 onwards(no signs of temperature dropping) I will proceed with feeding nurofen. Always keep a lookout of any differences after feeding nurofen. If baby is very sleepy or developing unknown rash, please go to the emergency department quick
