If it is the taste (and you REALLY need to give something for pain) there is the option of rectal panadol. Not pleasant but no taste Having tried panadol (and equivalents) and nurofen, I personally don't like the taste of any of them. Kynan has good taste when it comes to medication!!!! Painstop tastes better but it is a stronger medication with codeine so only good for strong pain and not suitable for fever.
