A message from St John Ambulance

Chickenpox is going around again! Please remember NOT to give your children nurofen/ibuprofen if you think your child has it.
This type of medicine is an anti-inflammatory. It reacts with the chickenpox making them go deeper into the skin tissue, potentially causing a more severe secondary infection.
Better options:
👶Paracetamol for fever
👶Calamine Lotion for the itch
👶Keep your child hydrated
Always seek medical advice.

Creating a visual timetable together can help you and your child to feel calmer and more in control of daily routines.
