Whether children’s cold medicines can be put into porridge depends on the nature of the medicine. Dosage forms that do not have a clear requirement on the method of taking can usually be put into the porridge; cold medicines that are not suitable for taking at meal time are not recommended to be put into the porridge. If the cold medicine for children belongs to ordinary tablets, dispersible tablets or delayed-release tablets, there is usually no clear requirement on the time of taking, so the cold medicine can be put into the porridge, and it will not affect the effect of the medicine. If the children take cold medicine belongs to enteric-coated tablets, it is not recommended to take it in the porridge. Because enteric-coated tablets can be quickly dissolved and absorbed in the alkaline environment of the intestinal tract to play a role in the efficacy of the drug, it is easy to put in the porridge due to the effect of stomach acid on the drug and reduce the efficacy. It is recommended that parents do not blindly give children to take cold medicine, to be strictly in accordance with the doctor’s instructions to take, to ensure the safety of children’s medication.
