NICE have issued an Eyes on Evidence commentary on Antipyretic therapy for children with fever. A Cochrane review finds that giving paracetamol and ibuprofen together or one agent after the other is more effective at eliminating fever in febrile children than either therapy alone. They comment "This is the first published systematic review comparing combined and alternating paracetamol and ibuprofen with single antipyretic treatment to report useful treatment effects (based on 6 trials)."

Thing to get involved in
If the Grand Depart inspired you why not slip into your lycra, hop on your saddle and follow in the tyre tracks of the greats!
Your cycle challenge...300 miles, a 4 day bike ride through the Kent countryside to Dover, across the Channel to Calais. Along quiet French country lanes, through traditional market towns , past the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme. The pièce de résistance of this cycle challenge will be the final cycle up the Champs Elysées to the Arc de Triomphe, following in the tyre tracks of the cycling greats, before watching them cycle the same route the next day in the finale of the Tour de France!
