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.

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

No, we just avoid processed sugars.

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

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

Well please make an exception for you sick kid. Jesus H Christ.

Honestly. Insufferable.

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.

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

I don’t want anything with artificial sweeteners either.

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

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?

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.

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??

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?
