    I'm serious, is there any stuff like immodium for kids or something?

    If the child is seriously ill and has diarrhea and can't keep fluids down then go to the hospital ER. They can rehydrate him via IV.

    Let his Mom learn a lesson in responsibility. Don't take any chances with the kids health in hopes that his Mom will bail you out.

    Do what makes you feel comfortable and let Mom deal with the consequences.

    Make sure he gets something to drink every so often. Wee buggers like that get dehydrated easily.

    Are you quite sure of that?

    The morphine derivate bit that is.

    As far as I know paracetamol is sometimes used in conjunction with morphine and morphine derivates like codeine, with sometimes dodgy results. Didn't know they were that close.

    And last time I checked it was a hell of a lot better for the stomach than acetylsalisylic acid, or whatever you call it in your parts.


    Meh, bit behind on the postage.

    Don't use acetylsalicylic acid on children. There is a risk of Rye Syndrome if you do.

    He's got a bit of temperature but not much.

    She does have a mobile but she's not answering it for some reason...
    I don't have any Calpol, but I do have some paracetamol...
    I'll try a bit of that, if nothing else, it should make him feel a bit better.
    He's on the sofa now looking very sleepy and sad. Awwwww

    Yeah, i knoes, i never use the stuff.

    Eats away at the stomach lining on adults, I hate to think what it'd do to a child.
