You handled that so well! Well done!! ❤️ Have you tried another brand / own brand of paracetamol instead? X
Does he suffer with reflux? Silent reflux? Calpol makes my little girls awful and she then becomes like this and it’s the acid coming back up hitting her throat. I now do boots own version, 6years + so the dose is smaller - half (I am a paeds nurse) so less I’ve got to get in her and seems to work better 🙂 x
@Jess I haven't! Il grab some on my way out today I didn't even think about there being other brands that exist 😅 thank you ❤️
@Georgia he used to, he's been on different meds for reflux up until about a month ago he was weaned off and hasn't had it since x
@Jen could be a little bit of silent reflux x
I didn’t realise Calpol was a brand name for months with our first! My children tend to like the boots own brand stuff and it’s cheaper x
If you've started weaning, does it happen with food or is it Calpol specific?! If it's with food definitely consult a gp, if it's Calpol specific try another brand or you can get little contraptions that are like bottle teats you can put the Calpol through to help them suck and swallow.
@Amy only Calpol no problem with food, I didn't realise Calpol was a brand and there's other paracetamols out there 😅
Sorry I don't have much advice except I would speak to a GP or HV about this. Im sorry this is happening, it must be so scary! You reacted so well ❤️
