Ooh - my new paper on case study is out! What’s a case study, how do you do one, how do you spot a good one? Includes niche examples like the REF impact case study (though it’s mainly about research case studies).

Dear parents - Yes you can give your sick child paracetamol if they’re >3 months old. It’s an excellent painkiller. It brings down a high temperature. It’s one of the safest drugs available. You are right to want to soothe your child’s distress. Evidence supports your good parenting. Be confident.

High quality systematic reviews do not link paracetamol to autism. I took paracetamol in pregnancy. I maintained a healthy pregnancy weight. I have a family history of autism but none diagnosed in my children. There is (apparently) a bit of ADD, but mostly we think of it as our super-power :)

Trish Greenhalgh @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social · 18d

I took paracetamol in both my pregnancies for minor joint troubles. I had a better pregnancy experience because I wasn't in pain. Neither of my kids is autistic. The high-quality studies and reviews confirm there is NO evidence that paracetamol taken by the mother causes autism in the child. 🧪
