Dr. Kids Children’s Pain and Fever Gummy Bite - Chewable Acetaminophen for Kids Ages 2-11, Pre-Measured Soft Chews for Headache, Sore Throat, Cold and Flu, Orange Vanilla Flavor, 24 Count (Pack of 1)

First and foremost, my son is 5 and WILL NOT TAKE MEDICINE. If he lost an arm and there was medication to make it grow back, he still would refuse to take it. I have tried everything humanly possible. Liquids, disguising the liquids in a drink, having him hold his nose, chewables, dissolving packs, and bribing him with money or toys lol. Nothing worked. By some sort of insane luck, he’s never been sick with something that required medication since he was a baby. However, that meant he remained miserable so many times from headaches, fevers, and pain when medicine would have made him feel better. He suffered through sickness so many times and I felt so hopeless and helpless.Then I found these. He does take daily gummy vitamins and I told him they make medicine gummies. He said he would take them if they were gummies. Tonight we needed to try them for the first time since he had a headache and a fever. There was so much pushback at first but I made him wear a fever cooling patch to bed which annoyed him. He asked if he could take it off if he took medicine and I said yes. Weight wise, he needed 3 of these. He ate all 3 of them with a quick break between each just to take a sip of a drink. I’m not religious but HALLELUJAH!!!! He said they were just a “little bit sour” but he would take them again. (They’re really not sour but that’s how he describes something when it tastes a little “different”)As far as the taste and smell go, I made sure to try one myself so I knew the probability of him taking them. They smell just like an orange creamsicle! Taste wise, they taste like an orange creamsicle with a small acetaminophen after taste—not terrible at all, but not completely “medicine free” tasting. I have had way worse gummies lolThe cost is kind of pricey for the amount of doses (we could get 8 doses from the bottle), but when you have a child who refuses everything else, it is beyond worth it! Knowing that he can finally get some relief when he doesn’t feel well makes me the happiest parent in the world! Every parent hates when their child is sick, but it does make us feel better when we know they are able to take something for relief.My son is the pickiest of the picky. If he will eat them, I think every other child on earth will too!

I've got two kids. One that isn't picky and will try anything and another that is picky and is afraid to try new things.The picky one refuses to take medicine unless it's delicious. I thought I'd try these because she won't take any kind of acetaminophen.Tried these with both of them and they both spit them out. I tried one myself and they're honestly pretty gross.Love the idea but was a waste of money.

We have had to rotate ibuprofen and acetaminophen for over a week now after my 2.5 year old got their tonsils and adenoids out. They were fighting us every 3 hours to take liquid or chewables. This made it more bearable for us all! Only regret is we didn’t get them sooner. I was hesitant because of the bitter taste described in some reviews, but no complaints. They said it was good and took it without any problems. It is a little pricy but worth it for less stress.

Tastes like the chewable children’s Tylenol tablets only a gummy.

I rarely write a review on products but this is the worst tasting gummy! Hard to describe ...so awful. Before giving it to my child, I tried it myself and could't believe how revoltingly bad it tasted. I would never give that to my child.

Was really hoping this would've worked but I guess it tasted too strong of medicine even I didn't like it. Not expecting it to taste like candy but just enough so kid can take some medicine without noticing

The greatest investment ever!! Im not fighting with my toddler to take tylenol when she's sick and still works like a charm <3

I originally bought these because my daughter is obsessed with anything gummy and I thought they would be a way to make medicine a bit more fun.These happened to be in my cabinet when my daughter caught Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. This is a condition that causes blisters in the mouth, so it was important for her to have medication that was soft, as her throat is very sensitive right now. Compared to some of the harder chew type pain medications which she could , this was a godsend. She really liked the texture. She complained it was yucky. I tried a bite and she was absolutely right. You can smell the orange cream, but the medicine taste is the #1 thing you taste. The texture is the only pleasant thing. If the taste can be improved, these will be a hit. Well, at the least, I know at first taste no kids will ever mistake these for candy..
