DD refuses to take paracetamol

Flu is in the house.... Sad

DD always refuses to take her paracetamol. When she's getting better, then she likes it! But when she really needs it that's another story... I have to force feed her the thing, not nice...

I used to live in a different country and they had paracetamol drops which were much easier to give (more concentrated paracetamol, you give 0.5 ml instead of 5 ml!).

Do you have any tricks? Or know other products in the UK besides the suspension?

Thanks

How old is she? When DD was a baby we had paracetamol suppositories which were really easy to administer while changing her nappy. Not sure an older child would cooperate though!

She's 2 and half.

Actually I'm pregnant so that's good to know. Did you get them at a local pharmacy or boots? Thanks
