It is unlikely that anything would happen due to the expired date. However, Calpol should be used at intervals of at least 6 hours. Too frequent dosing can result in overdose and damage to the liver.
Next Steps
Use Calpol judiciously at intervals of 6 hours.
If child shows any signs of his liver being affected, like jaundice etc, then visit a hospital near you.
