Sugar-free liquid acetaminophen or ibuprofen?

[Anonymous]

Looking for a liquid fever reducer/pain reliever that doesn’t contain any sugar. It seems like an impossible task. DC can’t swallow pills yet and the dosage is too high. Any children’s pain reliever that’s not just glorified syrup?

Is your DC diabetic? I'm not sure there's enough sugar in 5 mL (or whatever) to be that concerned about it. Or is it an allergy?

BTW, my kid has a dye allergy and I'm thankful that there are dye-free option for all of these.

Sugar-free means aspartame or stevia or something. Is that better?

Teach your DC to swallow pills. Both of mine learned years ago (they are 5 and 8 now).

This. They do sell sugar free meds (at least adult cough syrup) but they add artificial sweeteners. I’d only use it for diabetics. Not because you don’t like to give your kid too much sugar. I mean, how often is he taking these??

I don’t want anything with artificial sweeteners either.

Medicines isn’t suppose to taste good. Silly attempting to try.

No, we just avoid processed sugars.

Well good luck getting a baby to take sugar free liquid medicine. Our son moved to pills around age 4, and friends considered that to be early.

It's even sillier to make medicine deliberately taste yucky and then the child refuses/spits it out/doesn't take it.

Is your kid sick or not?

Okay, then crush a bitter pill and make a paste. Then try to cram it into your child. A compounding pharmacy would probably be willing to make this for you, if you were willing to pay.

Honestly. Insufferable.

Does your kid eat fruit? They probably get more sugar from a serving of fruit then they will from meds. I HATE ignorance.

Come back in 5 years and let us know how that's going for you.

This thread is great. It can't be real.

It's strange. I thought the people who would avoid the processed sugar in liquid acetaminophen or ibuprofen would be the same people who don't give acetaminophen or ibuprofen but want to strengthen their children's immune systems by fighting off fevers without assistance.
