Alicia it will tell you on the labeling the dosage for your baby. You can give them together although it may be better to give them slightly apart. If your baby has asthma avoid the ibuprofen.

I would recommend calpol for babys safer, then maybee seek advice from your gp if it dosent work or contact NHS 24 but im maybe too cautious when it comes to little one.

You can give ibrofen and calpol together if needed but do not go over the dosage for the age of your child....or exceed the dose intervals for each.
Ie calpol can be given every 4 hrs 4 doses in 24 hrs and ibrobufen every 6 hrs 3 doses in 24 hrs...and see the doc or phone NHS direct if she reaches a temp of 40deg asap!
