Hi Gemmah, with the regards to the quantities of calpol and nurofen it is very clear on the bottles and going by you lo's weight the suggested dosage of a spoonful works out to be correct and you can give them both 4 -6 hourly. Calpol comes with a plastic spoon and if i remember correctly and nurofen comes with an oral syringe. Just to add, if your little one suffers with asthma or kidney problems check with your GP before giving nurofen as it is contraindicated with both of these conditions. The other thing to say is you could give both medicines together initially to 'load' your lo up and then alternate them to maintain a 'steady' comfort level but it depends on how uncomfortable your lo is at the time. Hope this helps
