Panado Paed Syrup 50ml Strawberry

Paediatric paracetamol suspension is the standard children's pain and fever medicine worldwide: 120mg per 5ml, dosed by the child's weight, gentle on small stomachs and safe from early infancy when measured properly. Fever itself is a defence, not a disease; the syrup's job is comfort, easing the misery of teething, immunisations, ear infections and flu so a child can drink, settle and sleep. Everything that matters about this medicine is dosing discipline, because the syringe, not the spoon, is what keeps it safe. Panado Paediatric strawberry syrup is the local standard of the weight-dosed children's suspension, the bottle most South African fevers meet first.

Every household with children needs an accurately dosed antipyretic before the 2am fever, not after. This is the one paediatric guidelines put first, and the one whose weight-based dose you should have written down in advance. Buying it before the first illness, and writing the child's current weight-dose on the box, turns the worst night of the season into a procedure.
