yes i do second the hylands tablets but I am after fast pain relief when needed, like brauers, hylands are homeopathic so they have to build up a little bit in body to be useful.

ah ok then what about pain stop? its surpose to be Alcohol, Sugar and Gluten Free most chemists stock it and its specifically for little ones

Minny, I tried to get Painstop for DS a few months ago and they wouldn't sell it to me because he is younger than 2! Benefits of a small town I suppose

Ok I just checked and the Ibuprofen we got for DS is labelled "Pharmacist" brand. IT is free from Sucrose, alcohol (That's nice to know lol) gluten, yeast, wheat starch, paracetamol, lactose, artificial colouring and dairy products. I tried to get another bottle the other day and our chemist has none and expects no more for at least 3 weeks Maybe I need to get MIL to go in and get me some Painstop? And why didn't i think of that before??

That's interesting Minny, thanks for that info. I will have to go have a look for some next time we are out of town. I used it years ago when DD was little. It knocked her out for a ridiculous amount of time, something like 14 hours i think?? And i didn't even give her a full dose!

wow 14hrs thats crazy....just googled there website and apparently they have one for day time which is non drowsy but do make a night time one with a bit of sedative in it

[Little Chicken]

I just looked up a website and the reason it made her sleepy shall we say is because it contains codeine, promethazine (an antihistamine), and ethanol. It definately isn't colour free, and those sedating agents is probably why it isn't recommended for the under 2's. Was it the night time one you tried to buy from the chemist Nic because that may be the reason why they wouldn't sell it to you. I can PM you the website if you want as I don't know if I can post it here. It alsosays for use of moderate to severe pain only when paracetamol is not working.
