Medicine!!!

Anyone got any tips on getting medicine down?? My daughter has been on amoxicillin for a couple of days now but refuse syringe. Tried multiple times and is just sick after. I asked and they said I can’t mix with milk etc?! Not sure what to do….

Our little boy took it much better from a teaspoon.. and we bribed with stickers! Good luck!

@Emma not tried that! I’ll give it a go tomorrow haha 😰 Thankyou!!

We mixed ours with milk before. They say not to as you can’t tell how much they’ve had if they don’t finish the drink but we just gave her a small amount of milk with the amoxicillin in. My theory was that’s it’s either that or none!

I mixed it in with Greek yoghurt before

The pharmacist was so blunt, and just said categorically cannot mix with any liquids - has to be taken alone otherwise it will not work 🙄🙄 so she’s spat out so much of it, would’ve been so much easier in some yoghurt etc! I’ll try for the remainder of the course. Thanks guys! Xx

Saw a video yesterday of a mum putting the medicine at the top of an unopened can of pop, the toddler took it right away thinking they were getting a cheeky bit of mums drink 😂 could be worth a try?

I wasn't able to get anything into my lo other than the first dose. He is great at taking medicines generally but not that. I mixed it in all sorts but he started becoming really suspicious of anything we gave without it in. I phoned the gp back and asked for an alternative

Dip the end of the syringe in honey - worked a treat for us 👍🏼
