Expired paracetamol may lose its potency, making it less effective in alleviating pain or reducing fever in a child. While it is unlikely to be harmful if ingested shortly after the expiration date, the safety and efficacy cannot be guaranteed. It's important to consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns about giving expired medication to a child. Always check expiration dates and dispose of expired medications properly.
