Best Child Medications

Magic – My 2yo could not get to sleep tonight, he has a runny nose and was cough constantly from trying to breath through his nose. I thought no way are we… Read more

getting sleep tonight, I put some rub on his back and within 10minutes he had rolled over and fallen asleep and has not coughed since.

Must have product for a good nights sleep – Absolutely love this product. So comforting for baby. Can be used from three months. I put a bit on baby’s chest every night and it helps him fall asleep. Very soothing and mild. Not to be confused with regular Vicks, this is very gentle and calming. Show details

I tried this for my children after their adenotonsillectomy since they absolutely hate the liquid form and they are too young to take tablets. They… Read more

first taste was ok but then they started to scream and cry saying it was 'spicy' and they just spat it out. At first, I thought that they just didn't like the flavour, so I tried one myself... I can honestly say it is the most revolting thing that I have ever tried in my life, no exaggeration there. The outer layer is ok enough but as soon as you bite into it, this bitter peppery paste starts oozing out and it just burns your tongue and throat. It really stings everything it touches, and the sensation lingers no matter what you eat or drink. I can't believe they are trying to poison children with this product. I also had a lot of burping and very upset stomach after that one tablet. Please don't throw away your money on this, try a different brand or Panadol suppositories instead.

Tastes awful but works – Looks and tastes and smells awfull. My little one doesn’t like it so I bought different brand. Pricey aswell However it works Show details

Concur with most of the Reviewers here. This is medicine is NASTY and FOUL. AVOID – Both of my kids hate taking Panadol. If a 11months old baby makes that gags and vomit after taking this crap, you know it's foul. We switched to… Read more

Dymadon and thank goodness for it.

Someone mentioned that the people at GSK probably don't have kids and I have to agree with that person.

Stay away...you have been warned

Contains lactose - erodes tooth enamel don’t use! – This product contains lactose which is a sugar. I used this on one of my 4 babies and he is the only one with very poorly teeth. A dentist informed me that the lactose in this powder affects the teeth as if eating sugar. Beware!

Not recommended! Bought this for my mouth ulcer but all it did was sting my ulcer and made it feel more inflamed, plus worsened the size of it. I… Read more

tried for about 3 days then decided to buy Kenalog in Orabase instead which protects the ulcer and soothes it immediately.

Absolute Miracle Product – After 9 weeks of constant screaming and crying, a friend from the UK recommended this. She said the relief was instant which I was sceptical about… Read more

it, but it was as she suggested. My bub instantly stopped crying and squirming. I wish this product was more widely known about in Australia

Bonjela saved my lips. I have quit vaping recently and my lips and my tongue were very sore. My lips had ulcers and my tongue was burnt. My dentist… Read more

recommended Bonjela and after three days they are improving 80% so in about three days I reckon they’ll be 100% cured. I have never used this product before I’ve heard about it and I do recommend this thank you so much.

My son takes this medicine really well. When he’s had other brands, like Nurofen, he hysterically cries, but this one doesn’t seem to upset him at… Read more

all. He’s only four months old, so you can imagine we mainly use it for teething.

For anyone wondering, they brought back the plastic stopper — I guess enough people complained about it. I honestly have nothing bad to say about it. I just wish the bottle was a bit bigger, but it’s well priced and my baby seems to like the taste as much as a baby can.

That said, we use the strawberry one. He really didn’t like the orange flavour, and even my husband and I tried both and agreed the strawberry tastes much nicer than the orange.

Not sure it works, seems a bit hit and miss. The dosing syringe is shorter than the bottle, so it's really annoying and fiddly.

Great for flu season ! – I use the Euky inhalant in my vspouriser and it works wonders during flu season . When my kids have runny noses or chesty coughs, I use it in their… Read more

rooms and it really helps relieve symptoms and relax my kids and they get a better nights sleep. Its a must have

Excellent! – This stuff is a lot better than the "brand name" teething gel, which we tried for quite some time and didn't seem to work so when I saw this at the… Read more

chemist I thought we'd give it a go. I tested it first on my gums and it worked faster and made my gums much more tingly than the "brand name" one and definitely works better for our baby, he loves it and settles his teething pain quickly.

Not happy with product – Poor quality. Bottle is still half full but does not spray. Show details

It actually works – Tried everything over the years. This is by far the best and it's the only one I use now. Tastes ok and the kids agree. Don't waste your money on other products Show details

Works better than any other teething product – I truly see a difference when not using this product for my teething baby. He has a couple sprays before every sleep, and it tends to reduce his pain/discomfort. Can buy in standard or non-alcoholic, I use the latter. Show details

“Dropper” major failure!!! – “Dropper” IS THE WORST! When you are trying to breastfeed a colic baby and already stressed and emotional the very last thing you need is a product… Read more

that actually makes you and your babies time harder and more stressful! Even placing the drops on a spoon and giving them that way is impossible due to the flow being inconsistent! You don’t even get the chance to measure five drops because they all pour out like a tap. Major design flaw that is just screaming to be changed! If you’re going to design and produce a product to make babies and parents’ lives easier then do just that! Atrocious.
