Can you get travel size child (11-13yrs) liquid pain relief?

[Tansie]

For a headache, say. I am keen not to take a 350ml bottle on Ryanair!

Anyone know what I can get and where I can buy it?

Ta.

At that age, why are you needing "Liquid" ??

My DD @ 9 takes standard pain pills & has done for a few years now - she's allergic to the additives in Kids medicines & I've been reassured they are perfectly fine for DCs, she takes 1 - 200mg Ibruprophen no more than every 4 hours & HALF a 500mg Paractemol - again no more than every 4 hours.

If pain is bad these can be taken together, though I've found staggering the dose of each at 2 - 3 hours - alternating drugs, works best.

This was the advice given by both the hospital & GP (DD IS kamikazzee kid)

No problems with getting them on a plane either

My DH and myself always pack a couple of nurofen sachets each. They are for up to 12 years but my 12 and 13 have them. I but them from the supermarket.

I find the Calpol fastmelts useful for travelling and always have some in the car/handbag etc. They are just sucked so you don't need a spoon which is always a bonus!

Just bought Fastmelts! Thanks.

Glad to be of use
