My 9 month old baby had her MMR vaccine. The doctor advised us to give paracetamol if she has fever. Accidentally, I gave paracetamol which was bought and opened 3 months ago . But it's expiration date is May 2025. Does it cause any problem? I am completely unaware of the things that when the bottle is unsealed , it should be used within a month. I thought that the expiry date was important. Pls reply. Should I be worried about this? Pls suggest how long the syrups / drops can be used once it is opened?
