Hi,
Sometimes suppository, if used in the wrong say by untrained people, can cause rectal tears and it not advisable to use it if the kid is able to take the medicine orally.
I suggest you avoid it as long as the kid is able to take Paracetamol medicine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
