Question
At what time should a child take medication if they’re not feeling well at night?
Answer
It is generally recommended to administer medication to children on an empty stomach, meaning at least two hours after taking the medicine before eating. Similarly, wait at least two hours after eating before giving these medications. It is important to note that regardless of the child’s illness, avoid self-medication and seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the exact cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, maintain a light diet, frequently take children outdoors for physical activity, and ensure good indoor air circulation, all of which can aid in the child’s recovery.
