Patient's question:
Bronchitis, no high fever, slightly coughing usually, with a little phlegm, vomiting when taking medicine. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Taking anti-inflammatory drugs. What kind of help is needed: The child does not drink medicine, wants to put it in milk to feed, not sure if it is possible.Doctor's answer:
You can use milk instead of water to administer medication, but do not crush it or fill the shell, as this may interfere with the drug's efficacy. It is recommended not to force-feed medication to avoid choking. You can mix it with sugar water or dark-colored juices like grape juice or apple juice (never use grapefruit, as it often has drug interactions) and feed it with the powder, or even with jelly, pudding, or jam to mask the taste. Some parents directly add it to milk, which is also acceptable, but be mindful that if the child does not finish drinking the milk, the dosage of the medication may not be sufficient, potentially reducing its effectiveness.
