Neurofen with colour!

Hello!
A bit of a strange one... been advised to give my little one ibuprofen (neurofen) for his throat to help imflammation, instead of calpol.

I can only find the colourless one! And he refuses it as he wants the 'purple' one like calpol.

Does anyone know if they do an ibuprofen for kids that is calpol purple?

Thank you!!

Moght have to buy a generic one from a chemist. Maybe a strawberry one will be pink

Most seem to say colour free though

Stick a bit of food dye in

Drop or two of red food colouring in the bottle and give it a good shake. Check the colour and add more if needed. Might fool your little one.
