How to Give Medicine to a Baby

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please ask about the method of administering medication to infants?

Doctor's answer:

General syrups, powders, and granules are more suitable for infants to take. Syrups and powders can be administered directly according to the doctor's instructions or the method indicated on the packaging. Before administering granules, dissolve the medication in a small amount of warm water first, and then give it to the infant. If the medication has a very bitter taste, you can add a suitable amount of sugar to the medication or give the infant a small amount of sugar first, followed by the medication. If the medication is in tablet form, it should be crushed into a powder. Tablets that dissolve easily can also be dissolved in warm water before administration.
