Care for your little ones with our children’s medicine collection at Ballyduff Pharmacy. From pain and fever relief to cough, cold and tummy care, we stock trusted family healthcare products in child-friendly formats. Children’s medicines are formulated and dosed for specific age ranges, so it’s essential to choose the right product for your child’s age and weight, read the label carefully, and ask our pharmacist for advice. Order online for delivery anywhere in Ireland.

Pain & Fever Relief

Children’s pain and fever relief is available in formats such as liquids, sachets and suppositories, formulated for different age groups. Always use the product suited to your child’s age and weight, follow the dosing instructions exactly, and never give more than the stated amount. If you’re unsure, our pharmacist can help.

Coughs, Colds & Congestion

We stock a range of children’s products to help ease the discomfort of coughs, colds and a blocked nose, including saline drops and age-appropriate remedies. Many childhood coughs and colds are mild and pass on their own, so these products aim to keep your child comfortable while they recover.

Tummy & Digestive Care

For children’s tummy upsets, we stock products such as rehydration sachets to help replace fluids and salts lost through diarrhoea or vomiting, as well as other digestive care suitable for children. Keeping children hydrated is especially important, so seek advice if symptoms persist.

Using Children’s Medicines Safely

Always read the label, use the measuring device provided, and store medicines out of reach and sight of children. Check whether a product is suitable if your child has a health condition or takes other medicines, and ask our pharmacist if you have any questions — we’re always happy to help.

Delivery Across Ireland

Order online and enjoy nationwide delivery across Ireland for just €5.95, with free delivery on orders over €70, plus free click & collect and free local delivery for local customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Children’s medicines are formulated for specific age ranges, so always check the age guidance on the pack and choose accordingly, taking your child’s weight into account where stated. Use the measuring device provided for an accurate dose. If you’re unsure which product or strength is right, our pharmacist will be glad to help.

Some products shouldn’t be combined, and it’s easy to unintentionally double up on the same ingredient, such as giving two products that both contain paracetamol. Before giving more than one medicine together, check with our pharmacist or GP, read each label carefully, and never exceed the recommended dose.

Child-friendly formats such as flavoured liquids or other forms can make things easier, and our pharmacist can suggest suitable options. Never alter a medicine without advice. If your child cannot take a needed medicine, speak to your pharmacist or GP about alternatives.

Seek medical advice if your child is very unwell, has a high temperature that won’t come down, is unusually drowsy or hard to wake, isn’t drinking or shows signs of dehydration, has a rash that doesn’t fade, has difficulty breathing, or if you’re worried for any reason. For babies and young children especially, seek advice early.
