In Reply to: Childrens Panadol/Nurofen posted by Parisse on Wednesday, 20. May 2009 at 06:15 Bali Time:
We have travelled to Bali many times with out children, and one of our sons always got very sick with croup over there (in and out of airconditioning).
On one trip our wonderful Balinese driver told us that the best medication for children is termerex. It contains paracetamol and really breaks a fever and eases high temperatures quickly.
We have now been buying and using this medication for over 10 years and it always works extremely well.
In January we bought some from the supermarket section on top of Ramayana in Denpasar. It is not very expensive and if you looked for it you may find it in many of the little apotiks around.
Instructions are written in Indonesian but we just used a dictionary or online translation to work out the dosage.
cheers
