Question
The baby won’t take any medicine, urgent! Additional question 1: The child was already taking medicine, how should we treat it? Additional question 2: The child won’t eat any kind of medicine!
Answer
Most medicines for infants are in liquid form, but they also include powders, tablets, and capsules. For non-liquid medications, you can grind them up and dissolve them in a small amount of warm water before feeding. After feeding, give the child a little warm water to drink, which helps to dilute the taste of the medicine in the mouth and aids in its dissolution in the stomach.
