Calpol Infant Suspension

I have been very lucky with my daughter in that she never complains of anything at all really, when she is ill she just gets on with it and I rarely have to give her any medicines which I am glad about as I think it is so easy to give it when it isn't really needed. When she was a baby I always had Calpol in the house just in case, but thankfully it was seldom used. However, my daughter has problems with her elbows in that they dislocate very easily and so I was instructed by the hospital to give her a dose of Calpol before manipulating it back into place. It is only these times that I have ... more

My little man has been feeling poorly the last couple of days, with the snuffles, the grumps and a raised temperature. It’s a time like this that Calpol is a godsend. Although not the cheapest Paracetamol suspension on the market, it’s the one that I’ve used with all five of my children over the last nineteen years and the one I simply trust above all others. Although it is available in both original and sugar-free varieties, I’ve only ever used the sugar-free.

Calpol is a pain relief for children. You can buy it as age six plus or from 2 months plus. It contains paracetamol and it's very important that you read the instructions and do not exceed the stated dose. I don't like having to use Calpol and only use it if I have to. I know some people like to use it as soon as their baby shows the first signs of teething or as a preventative before injections but I'm not one of those people! I try to only use it if my grandchildren have a temperature or if they are clearly unwell and teething. It comes in a purple box and inside is the glass bottle. The ... more

It's teething time and everyone I ask, nurse, midwife included has recommend Calpol to soothe and take away the pain for my little girl. So, off to the chemist I trotted, well actually off to the chemist I sent my husband one night when my little girl was screaming in my ear and chweing on her hands so fiercely I thought she would chew them off. He came back with Calpol Sugar Free Infant Suspension for two months plus. Calpol is basically a liquid form of paracetamol and is intended to relieve pain and fever in many conditions including teething, headache, toothache, sore throat, earache, and ... more
