A few types of infant Calpol available. Some have added sugar which I was not keen on. Also a strong, sickly smell and bright pink so got all over baby's clothes. However, fairly simple to use and seems effective. Would prefer a no sugar, sweetener or colouring version without fake strawberry smell as there are no other flavour versions I am aware of.

Is ok when used to overlap nurofen for children, but alone it did not relieve my baby from pain.

Known brand but works just the same as cheaper brands. Does come with very useful measuring syringe with helps to be accurate and my little one takes her medicine very well from the syringe.

Handy dosing syringe. Maybe tastes a bit too nice as my daughter asked for more!

Luckily we've only needed to use this a few times since our baby was born. We have never had to use it for a high temperature, just for a sore throat and cold; within minutes he perked up and was able to enjoy his day. The Calpol was easy to use and came with a 'syringe' that connected to the mouth of the bottle.
