Paracetamol works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. It is also thought to work by resetting the body's thermostat, which can help to reduce fever.
Calpol Six Plus Suspension typically starts to work within 15-30 minutes. The paracetamol in the suspension is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and starts to block the production of prostaglandins.
The effects of Calpol Six Plus Suspension usually last for 4-6 hours.
If your child's symptoms are severe or symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
