I gave my four year old daughter calpol for a fever, and it does seem to have brought down the fever. Now, she is wheezing and has difficulty breathing. Can that be a side effect of the calpol? My husband has taken her down to the ER, and this is something that just occurred to me now.
I hardly think that a drug as common as calpol can cause difficulty breathing, and I rather suspect that this is a symptom that is part of the disease or virus that caused the fever that made you give her calpol in the first place. It must be very scary for you all! Can you let us know what happened at the ER visit?
