    That Calpol advert is the most honest one out there :rotfl: Hopefully, they'll be OK for tomorrow. I remember we'd give prescription calpol to children but not just from a bottle that parents would bring in. Can you even get it on prescription these days? xx

    No tea. We don't even have minor ailments someone (lucky I think) told me about on here. So it's fake Calpol for my three :o :rotfl:

    As long as it's doing the trick and it seems to be, that's the main thing. Things in pretty packaging and with a branded name aren't automatically bought in this household either ;) xx

    Could you ask for some anti sickness meds to help with the antibiotics?
    Hope you feel better soon.

    I rarely give our little one actual Calpol, it's usually a supermarket or chemist own brand one and he's never noticed. My sister is a nurse, friend is a doctor and they both say they all do the same thing! We do have the minor ailments service and it's generic brands they give anyway. No point in paying for a name!

    I think that might be the same antibiotics that I had recently which made me really very sick. I think I was over half way through the course of them before my body stopped trying to reject them. I hope you are all feeling better soon.
    Sticking with the "Small things" thread to keep up us on the straight and narrow.
