Easy to use syringe and bottle. Expensive compared to others that work exactly the same.

Calpol is average but would not say this subsides all pain for children

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.

Smells disgusting, my baby can guess he is about to get medicine. I was never successful to give him calpol even if he had some he vomit that out immediately. Strawberry flavour is worst. It would be great if calpol can will be available without any smell.
