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.

very good. when my baby is really poorly i tend to give her a mix of calpol and nurfofen so she has something every two hours. make sure you only give 2.5ml as its easy to get confused as you give 5ml with calpol.

Orange flavour is easy to give baby. No smells and it goes down smoothly. But I will not recommended ibrufen for kids only use if calpol is not at all working and never combine doses of calpol and neurofen.

Nurofen is great for a last resort. We tend to use it when everything else has failed us for teething or to help top up relief when we are still on a countdown from calpol. It lasts the night which is fantastic but I'm always cautious of using any ibuprofen as we have a family history of asthma and in case he ever gets chicken pox and we haven't spotted the first symptoms. You always end up paying more for the brand but when it's for my son, I always find myself going back to what we know and trust.

Very good medicine, I have used this medicine since my baby girl was 3 months. I will recommend this medicine only when the baby is not felling well, has a flu and temperature otherwise i will recommend Calpol if the baby has a bit of pain like tooth pain or temperature
