Tried this as an alternative to Calpol because it was a different flavout and my little boy was being fussy. He loves the flavour of this one. It worked equally well for teething pain as the Calpol did. Used the provided spoon to dose the medicine which worked fine for my little boy.

I really like using Nurofen for children. because if your child has a really high temperature it really helps bring it down. but please do check. it might not be the right medicine for your child read the label to to make sure that it is the right one for your child. some kids might have allergies or like kidney or liver problems but other than that it helps with temperature and if your child is teething and all other temperature related problems.

Like the baby syringe that came with the bottle, makes it much easier to administer the medicine to a wriggling baby. Baby did not seem to mind the taste, and swallowed when given a small mouthful at a time. Very sticky sweet taste, orange in colour. Used to help reduce inflammation from teething, really helped sooth and settle baby.

Handy syringe makes it easy to give to my son. Only downside I've found is that he can't have milk straight after as it makes him sick. Works within 15 mins
