Has anybody else had it where their baby vomits any time they're given calpol (regardless of how they're given it)?
I'm starting to question if she might have an allergy to it bit she never gets any other symptoms, other than being sick. She's starting to teeth so this is going to be horrendous if I can't give her pain relief

I know you’ve said regardless of how they’re given it but have you tried mixing it with her milk? If you have then I’m stumped !

Instead of calpol you can try teething gels? Ashton Parsons stick seems effective I find

I rarely give calpol for teething. We use ambesol or calgel on the gums. Ibuprofen also works so much better than calpol.
Have you tried an own brand different flavour? My daughter cannot stand the orange and used to react the same way. Also try the sugar version rather than sugar free as some babies are more sensitive to the sweeteners

LO would always push out calpol with his tongue id have to do it gradually now he is okay with it

When we were doing the vaccinations we were told to avoid calpol ahead of the appointment when we had the oral ones as they tended to spit it back up a bit- so not sure if it's reasonably common (age dependent)

Glad I'm reading this and thankful for the tips the other mums have shared here because our little guy (7 months) absolutely despises the taste of Calpol too and always spits it straight back out

If its branded calpol, I'd try own brand. I'm a nurse and have looked after kids allergic to the flavourings or an ingredient calpol use but were okay with own brand/unbranded paracetamol liquid

Thanks everyone, it's not that she spits it out. I give her it and then about a minute later she's sick. I meant by different ways of doing it so that it wasn't assumed I was squirting it to fast into her mouth causing her to vomit, I've used Chew dummies and everything. I used to do it in milk for my son but I can't get her to take any form of milk that's not direct from me, so mixing is out of the question for the moment. However, there's some great ideas here so I will definitely try some. Calpol was more for the temperature she seems to be getting from teething. And I will also look at own brand as its not something I ever would have considered but there's definitely something in calpol that is not sitting right with her.
Thanks again! Great help everyone 😊 xx

Yes my baby was always sick with calpol. We would give it and then maybe 10-30 mins after she would projectile vomit.
We found using a different brand paracetamol like Fennings works and using a spoon not a syringe worked for us

Just an update, bought a different brand and she isn't sick 🤩 thank you
