From what I can see, the active ingredient is paracetamol anyway, so it should work basically the same as panadol?? The concentrations are different though - Dymadon is stronger, which means the dose you give would be at least half of what you would give with Panadol. Maybe some of the additives are different, and he was allergic to those?
Dymadon suspension additives are: Methyl hydroxybenzoate, sodium benzoate, saccharin sodium and sorbitol(0.35g/mL).
Panadol suspension additives are: Sodium methyl hydroxybenzoate, Sodium ethyl hydroxybenzoate and Sodium propyl hydroxybenzoate.
Because he has had his chicken pox immunisation, it could be that he is just having a mild case of the spots?
