Yesterday my dd was unwell and i had no calpol 6+, i was going to give her normal calpol but my mum suggested giving her normal paracetamol but i found some soluble ones and it says on the box they are from age 6 and i gave her one and it worked faster than calpol and she didnt object to having to drink it, is it worth going back to calpol or would i be better with the soluble paracetamol?

Stick with the soluble paracetamol if she'll drink it and it's cheaper.
