OTC Medicines for early teens

[LIZS]

ds finds it really difficult to swallow tablets so am currently still using kids version of Nurofen etc in liquid form. What is available in liquid form more suitable for his age group (13+) ?

you can get nufofen in capsule form ( little red jelly like things), my dd was exactly like yours, I bought these for her during her orthodentist treatments and she was able to take them quite easily,or another alternative is dissolvable paraetamol ? my dd gagged at the taste though ! good luck

nurofen melts

Thanks for the ideas. Not sure about the Nurofen capsules - I accidently bit one once and it was really burning in my throat as it went down. Will look at the melts and also soluble paracetamol (had forgotten about that). Are there any other common medicine equivalents in soluble form ? He managed Lemsip ok.
