Having three young children with lots of illnesses and many injections to have, I have gone through many bottles of Calpol over the last 5 years. I don't always give my children Calpol because I will often take them to the doctors and get them paracetemol on prescription, some doctors are generous and will prescribe you a big bottle which will last ages where as other doctors only give you enough medicine to see out the illness. I don't really see why you shouldn't be able to get paracetemol for your child whenever they are poorly, especially when it is so expensive to buy. When I'm not using medicine from the doctors the one and only brand I will buy is ...  Read the complete review

Children get ill all the time and mine seem to be prone to colds at lest 3 times a year. There has been recent studies to say not to give babies medicin when they have had their injections. Personally I have given all my children calpol when they have been under the weather after their injections and this time has been no different.

Calpol has been around for many years I can even remember taking this when I was a child. I loved the strawberry flavour and it was so sweet to taste. The ...  Read the complete review

What pink, thick, gloopy, sticky, smells vaguely of strawberies and works minor miracles? Why Calpol of course. Hidden within the walls of the dull brown bottle with its chunky white childproof cap is the closest I'll ever come to a generic miracle cure all. Those withouht children will be utterly baffled as to what this blethering idiot is rambling on about. Calpol is a parents best weapon, in some cases its our only weapon, in the war against the plague of childhood lurgi that bombard our every waking moment. One minute you've got a perfectly healthy child running around the park, half an hour later they're a bit snivelly and rather annoyingly whingy and an ...  Read the complete review

First off, this review is for the 2 months plus stuff, so if your baby is under 2 months you need infacol I believe. Calpol is a pain relief for babies. It contains paracetomal, but it's formulated into a sweet treacle-like strawberry suspension which makes it very easy to give to babies. This comes in a brown bottle and should be stored in the fridge. The bottle I have is 100ml which is not a lot, but you would guess it's enough for at least a year if you're using it sparingly. The main thing about this is that it works. We have used it for crying teething babies, or perhaps if Elijah seems upset and unwell (my wife can read him like a ...  Read the complete review
