    Additive Colour free pain relief options which is best to use?

    I am trying to avoid additives as much as possible at the moment, but I am a bit stumped on pain relief. DD is teething and I made the mistake of giving her panadol orange flavour the other night and boy did we pay for it.
    I have been giving her brauers teething relief which is great but after something else also.
    Is the panadol colour free ok?
    TIA

    dunno about panadol, but for teething have you tryed hylands teething tablets? They are all natural and worked a treat with DD and she was a bad teether

    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.

    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??

    My DS goes hypo on Panadol, and Nurofen was slightly better than Panadol. We ended up just getting a Chemist branded Ibuprofen and it works wonders, no hypo activity, staying up all night etc (at least for us) Could you go to a chemist and ask to read the labels on all their pain relief in stock?
