"This will help make you feel
all better" (If we can lust get
you to swallow It) — Giving a
squirming child medicine can be
an exasperating experience that
often results in a sticky waste of
medicine. The easiest and most
effective way to give a small child
medicine is by giving them liquid
through an oral syringe — it gives
a more precise measure, allows
better control and avoids spillage.
Teaspoons and droppers are less
accurate when it comes to
measurement and are more
difficult to control. To administer
medication with the oral syringe,
be sure to place it inside the
child's cheek, not toward the back
of the throat, and release the
medicine in slow steady amounts,
waiting for the child to swallow.
Oral syringes are available from
your local pharmacy for $2 - $3.
For most children under 8, non-
chewable tablets can be difficult
to swallow. Instead, crush the pill
and give it to the child mixed in a
favourite food or if the taste is a
problem disguise it in ice cream,
yogurt or apple- or chocolate
sauce. Not all tablets should be
crushed; check with your doctor
or pharmacist to make sure. With
babies, some medication can be
mixed in a bottle, but be sure to
mix it into an amount small
enough that the infant will drink it
all.
Be calm, be positive and if
necessary offer a small reward to
help the medicine go down.
Some doctors say
that cheerful people resist
disease better than grumpy
ones. Hence the surly bird
catches the germ.
