Scenario 1 €“ Recommendations

"I recommended Calpol Sugar Free Infant Suspension. It's gentle on the tummy and strawberry flavoured. I mentioned that there is a dosing syringe in the pack that can be used to give 2.5ml 4 times a day.

I also reminded her to leave 4 hours between doses and that she may find it helpful to write down what she has given him."

"I advised her to give him plenty of fluids, and if she is worried about his symptoms or there is no improvement, to speak to our pharmacist.

I pointed out that if he starts getting a blocked nose or a cough, or if she needs something for his sore gums, we have other products that might be suitable too."
