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? xx0

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

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

Could you ask for some anti sickness meds to help with the antibiotics?

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!0

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.
