I was going to suggest the same as Bella, panadol comes in suppositories (just in case you didn't know what PR meant - per rectum). And worst case, wait until they are asleep to pop them in.
I would vomit too if someone tried to give me the baby panadol! What is with the disgusting taste? My DS doesn't vomit but he really resists it when I try to give it to him, so we've used nurofen here too. It's got a much nicer orange flavour. The only thing is that I've heard some pretty crappy stuff about ibuprofen (sp?) so will buy him the dymadon (thanks Life is Good!) to try next. Hope your wee man recovers soon, with lots of mummy and daddy cuddles and some nicer medication!
Oooh yes, P hates panadol. The chemists own brand works for us, but not the concentrated version (it tastes just as bad as panadol). There is more to feed them but if you are really upbeat while you administer it (ie. "Ooooooh! Yummmy! Gooooood girl! etc etc) then it seems to go down ok.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. We ended up taking him to the a/h doc cos he was getting gunk in his eyes & had a massive swollen lip from an ulcer...she prescribed antibiotics (which he loved for some reason ), and we tried getting the chemist-brand paracetemol & some Nurofen too. Haven't used the Nurofen yet, but it was the same story with the paracetemol...we had to pretty much force it down him which wasn't nice to do. But hopefully he will rest a bit easier tonight. My poor little man is so sick In this day and age you'd think they'd come up with a better way to give pain relief...humpf.
