allegric to paracetamol?

Try putting the syringe into the side of her mouth and point it to the back of her throat. Just a little at a time so she can swllow.

My DS would spit the panaol brand drops straight back at me, so I tried the dymadon brand, and he is happy to take that. Also, if you are using nurofen, they have an orange flavored one too. Good luck in getting your little one to swallow the paracetamol. xo

My kids hate panadol (paracetemol) too. Neurofen has always worked well. Also what flowerchild suggested is exactly what I would've written - it works great!

Thanks ladies I have tried a few angles and even just letting a little bit go on her tongue like the 1300 health nurse said but it doesn't work I guess she's just not a paracetamol baby honestly I don't know why she is keeping the anti biotics down and not the panadol the AB's smell disgusting

The trick is to get her to swallow straight after - this will keep it down. So toward the back of the throat flicks her swallow reflex on. I wouldn't put it on her tongue - this is where she has taste buds and that will cause her to spit it out. Stroke her throat afterward much like you would giving an animal meds (sorry but it's a similar theory! ) HTH

One of my earliest memories is vomiting up baby panadol... I remember the nasty taste so vividly... And, even now, the smell of it sets me right off... YICK... So I can totally get whey babies don't like it...

ETA - Flowerchild is so right, if you can avoid the tongue it should go down...

we gave her neurofin and she kept it down hopefuly her temp goes down

You can always try a tepid bath too... I gave DS one this week, when his temp was not coming down, with the panadene and nurofen, and it helped out.
