Reviews about the drug paracetamol suspension for children

Galina, 28 years old
Paracetamol in suspension is quite effective for fever and as a painkiller. When a child is small, he may have a fever for various reasons, and this tool removes it very quickly. I have been giving medicine to my baby since I was three months old; there were no allergies or other adverse reactions. And the pleasant taste of the syrup allows you to quickly and fully give it to the baby.
Irina, 32 years old
Paracetamol is quite dangerous for the liver, so in my opinion, it is better to use Nurofen to treat children. It has fewer contraindications and acts much faster.
Paracetamol Syrup is an effective drug for fever and pain. However, it should be used only as directed by a doctor, especially for treating children.
