There is a growing body of research to suggest the painkiller may impact a baby’s development in the womb, according to more than 90 scientists, clinicians and public health professionals.

A “consensus” statement about paracetamol for pregnant women urged them to only use the necessary dose and called for warning labels.

“It could be an underlying condition, such as infection, causing a fever that actually needs to be treated,” Dr Grzeskowiak said.
