Calpol

[saywhatwhatnow]

DS has decided he will only tolerate the pink calpol. Of course he has. Tesco (delivery) has two that are sugar free, and one which is colour and sugar free. It's obviously not the latter, but are both sugar free ones pink? Or do I need to go to boots. I used to be at Glastonbury and now I'm stressing about pink bloody calpol.

We currently have sugar free calpol (tonsillitis) and it's pink, I bought it in Tesco. We usually use their own brand which has no colour but they've been sold out for weeks

If it turns up and is White put a tiny drop off red food colouring in and shake it

Of

Make sure it’s the strawberry one not orange

Just checked my medicine shelf and all my bottles of sugar free are white and my one bottle of, albeit, Morrisons sugar variety is pink. I am not a paracetamol hoarder but before he died DH was at the stage he couldn't swallow tablets so the GP wrote him up for liquid paracetamol and ibuprofen which I have hung on to as I can use them for the kids.

Food colouring is a great idea.

There are two bottles online, one with a pic of a toddler, the other with a picture of a toddler and baby on the front. If anyone has these in their house are either pink? They both just say 'sugar free'. Even if I order them you can't actually see the colour until you open them which is pretty annoying. He gets so hysterical if it's the white stuff I'm trying to make life a tiny bit easier for both of us.

We put squash in ours when we could only source the white no fun stuff. Then you got the sugar and the colour

I don't have the box op but my Calpol is pink and says sugar free infant paracetamol 2+ months. so I think it was the baby and toddler picture one.
