Child refusing calpol

The bath was our life saver! Don’t force it but stay stern. Don’t give in. If they are in the bath it doesn’t matter if it spills! Have some juice as a chaser

Yesss I tried every trick in the book and he still won’t take it and he’s 2 now 😭 the only thing I found that works sometimes is when I give him his drink I’ll sneak a little bit in at a time but he doesn’t always fall for it

My little girl hates calpol too. I think the last time I had to give it to her we gave a small bit then some biscuit, then some more and another bit of biscuit. She will happily take orange flavour ibuprofen though 🤷‍♀️

I’ve honestly tried every trick you can think of she won’t take it in any food or drinks and is just sick when she has it🙃 I give up haha!

Have you tried a different flavour? I got one in boots that was cherry flavour I think. My little girl still didn't like it but every child has different tastes.

You can get paracetamol suppositories for kids. My lo throws really high temps (over 40) when she gets ill and when that happens she can’t keep calpol or nurofen down so she has paracetamol suppositories. The hospital were the ones that told us to use them
