hi..i have always used calpol after they have had their injections, the nurse normally gives me a prescription for calpol but to be honest it doesnt smell like calpol so i have always bought calpol..make sure you get calpol from 2months. not all babies get a fever, if your unsure just ask the person doing the injection/healthvisitor or even a pharmacist!!hope this helps.
