Can Calpol be used with Ventolin?

My three year old daughter had a bad cold about 3 weeks ago, and the doctor prescribed Ventolin to be taken each evening. This was on Monday. Today she's developed another cold, along with a slight fever. Can I give her Calpol to lower her temperature, or not? Will it react badly witht he Ventolin?

    Its fine, really the only thing you need to be worried about interacting with Ventolin is other bronchodilators in the same category. Or medications that affect the cardiac systems directly but at her age I doubt she's on any of these. Ventolin is a direct acting drug also, you give it to the lungs where its needed, not orally etc and wait for it to take effect I hope that makes sense. :) Give it to her no worries!
