Nurofen/ibuprofen without sweeteners

Does anyone know of an infant Nurofen or ibuprofen that doesn't have sweeteners in? My little one is 10 months old and gets an upset stomach with the sweeteners, we have the sugar version of calpol which he is fine with but can't find the equivalent in ibuprofen :(

Calprofen sold by Boots is sugar free.

Boots own version is also sugar free.

No you can't source sweetener free ibuprofen in UK or europe. As a substance it is too bitter which doesn't help your child.

@Funderthighs that's sugar free. OP wants sweetener free (i.e. no sucralose, aspartame etc)

Boots own version is also sugar free.

Except that the OP is specifically NOT asking for sugar-free. Read the OP again?
