Antibiotics....Medical type question

Aww poor Blake

Jack had tonsilitis at the start of the year and refused everything. When I forced it down him it would come straight back up. So what I did was got a little carton of chocolate milk and syringed the medicine into that, shook it up and he would drink it all. I then bought a big container of milk and would syringe it back into the carton to use each medicine time. I also had a bit of pamol mixed in with most drinks I offered him.

Good luck

Wait until he is asleep and slowly syringe it in, has always worked for us.

You could also put something yummy into the syringe & let him syringe that into his mouth, then put medicine in next time.

Most infections will clear by themselves but I think you need to be careful with chest infections. Fevers are ok so long as he isn't convulsing a doc told us that if they have a fever but are happy and aren't in pain then we didn't need to give pamol but to keep a close eye on them. In saying that ds is always miserable with a fever & we always give him pamol.

With a chest infection yes he absolutely does need to take the antibiotics as if it's bacterial it won't clear on it's own and they can get really sick really quickly.

My girls love taking medicine, almost too much but Mum says when my sister was a baby and needed epilepsy meds daily mum used to make them into a milkshake so she'd take them, and when Sienna was tiny I used to add her kidney meds to her bottle. The only catch with that is that they need to take 100% of the dose so you need to make sure he drinks all the milkshake.

My son has been on AB's for re-occuring tonsilitis for 5 mths now, I normally mix it in with his milk. I also find I sometimes need to do the same for pamol & Brufen, so far it works just fine.
