Patient's question:
How can children take medicine obediently? Can medicine be used? Is surgery necessary? Are there any good methods? Does anyone know?Doctor's answer:
First, sugar water can be added to the powder and taken with it, but not too much water should be used. Second, if the child already knows how to take pills, a capsule form can be chosen. It should be noted that the powder should not be poured entirely into milk or a whole bottle of water for the child to drink, as this will certainly affect the child's appetite and make the already poor appetite during illness even worse. The time to give medication to the child should be carefully chosen, and it is best to avoid giving medication when the child is very full, as even a slight nausea can easily cause vomiting. For young children, it is also effective to give medication before feeding them milk, as this reduces the chance of vomiting.
