Is there any mother out there who knows if you can get Calpol out in the states as my 3 year old will be joining my husband and I and I swear by the stuff when my child is ill, or is there an american alternative SILLY I know!

Calpol is paracetamol. The equivalent to paracetamol here in the US is Acetaminophen. Acetominophen trade name is tylenol. Here is a link to the types of Tylenol you can get for children.

Dont know about mothers, but theres a dad here that knows - do I count We haven't been able to get Calpol in Texas - there are a few local alternatives that I'm sure are just as good, but I normally bring a bottle or 2 back with me when we visit the UK because the kids "like" it.

woodsey

LOL, thats the only thing I find as well, the stuff here doesn't taste as nice. Also they don't seem to do a sugar free one like Calpol do, although do they do 'sugar free' anything here?

I agree with the others tylanol is the next best thing to Calpol and they also have motrin that is just as good.

Hi I have just been busy doing not very much. My husband told me I spent too much time on the computer I agreed and took a brake for a while or so he thinks (well a little break). I put a lot more time into going out with my dd to parks and mixing with other kids. I had the In laws over on holiday and that was just woooonderfull and then I went home for a month that was great. Now I have been busy looking for a job but I have been logging on to here instead.

I use Infant Tylenol for my daughter too... seems to work just fine. I really like the dropper thingy... Emily has an issue with taking meds from a spoon.

I put a dab of vic on their pillows if they are suffly...........

That's a waste of decent 'shine ! .......... :scared:

The other thing you can't get here is beechams flu drinks.... The US versions are useless... I usually bring a few boxes of those sachets back with us to kill of any flu over the winter. Don't even bother with 'thera-flu' or whatever it is....

No you misunderstand...I DRINK all the moonshine then I cant hear the kids whining and whinging,
