Thankfully, they make Dafalgen Kindersirup, which is paracetamol suspension and is only Fr 6 a bottle. With two teething kids that are wriggly as hell anyway, I'm so glad I don't have to use the somewhat Victorian-style suppositories.
Not only that, we'll not have to ever have our kids going home and explaining that when they're ill 'mummy and daddy put something up my bum to make me feel better'. As most of my relatives read The Sun and think a paediatrician is a pervert, I'd be lucky to escape without a life-threatening beating...
