I will bring baby to PD instead of self medicate. PD has told me before teething doesn't cause diarrhea so it is better to have PD check your baby in case there are other underlying causes for the fever and diarrheas. As for Panadol the dosage should depend on baby's weight. How high is her temperature? Always use Panadol as first line of defense and give Iburofen only if the temp is still high after giving Panadol and only three hours after the last dosage of Panadol. Iburofen is more harsh on the tummy so never over give and try not to use it unless Temp runs very high .
