Ds due 8 week imms Monday. I'm nearly out of the 2m plus calpol prob have enough for 2 doses.. Since Friday I have gone everyday to tesco, sains, super drug, wilko, boots, savers etc ( luckily apart from tesco all the others are in the same street very local ) and tesco in opposite direction but not far as on way to eldest dc sch
Even tried the 2 local independent chemist's. They've both said get gp.m to prescribe as they have some in stock for prescriptions.
Obviously I will try again each day between now and then

Im worried as when dc 2 had the imms she was really poorly with high temp and nearly ended up hospitalised.

I would even be happy to pay for it at prescription adult price or whatever..
I feel Awful and kicking myself as I never let things run that low.

I do have half a bottle of 3m liquid paracetamol but he'd only be 8 weeks.

Order online and get it delivered to store, Lloyds still has some available online.

For those who are saying about pain relief on prescription, on the whole I agree with you, but I've just been stuck in the middle with a child who has a fracture. They were well enough to be at school, but needed regular analgesia. School wouldn't give it unless it was prescribed, GP wouldn't prescribe as it was freely available to buy, she ended up missing school for a day whilst this was sorted. Ridiculous, but school were having it no other way.

Agree with those saying try petrol stations, I've just filled the car up and local garage had plenty Calpol on the shelves.

Order it from Superdrug pharmacy, next day delivery or delivery within a few days to your local store or to your house.
