I am trying the same thing. i am sipping on milk or actimel after taking meds. its disgusting as the bitter taste still remains in the mouth. everything is ok so far but this meds are giving me such hard time at the moment. what mint did you use? and where did you get those? any idea of alnertanive paracetamol?

Hi Congrats on becoming a post opper I too struggled with paracetamol and ended up not taking any home as I couldn't stand the orange of the nhs one it was making me nearly vomit, their are different flavours at chemist, I went and got sugar free calpol and it was much better, you might just need a different flavour. Glad your home and resting x

I have extra sugar free mints the same people who make the gum or sugar free Smints! As for other paracetamol meds I just stick with sugar free Calpol 6+ Im not keen on the taste but it's better than the fizzy tabs they gave Kevin the hospital x x

Ye it will be fine just take little sips, think it's classified as liquids and that's what we got in hospital but in orange flavour yuk lol. X

Yea you'll be ok with Calpol, they gave me there equivalent in hospital & that was thicker! Just Have a couple of spoonfuls lol have no clue about Kevin using my iPod so it corrects what ever I'm trying to type lool x x

Hi Farzu, glad to hear you are home and doing well.
I was sent home with Neurofen melts- they are much better and easier to take. They also reduce the inflammation around the stomach and improve what you are able to take! I could not take the paracetamol either. But 2 neurofens three times a day keeps me a happy girl!

Good Luck!

Do you know if the melts have paracetamol in? I am allergic to it which is a real bugger as it is in so many pain killers!

Hi- they only have ibuprofen, like neurofen. No paracetamol. and the taste is not too bad! best of luck!

 

[farzu]

i stopped taking paracetamol and calpol 2 days ago. i didn't like the taste and i'm not in much pain too.
