What should I do if my child refuses to take his medication?

When a child has a cold and fever, the biggest headache for parents is to feed their children medicine, because the child refuses to take the medicine, every time the medicine has to make a fuss, sometimes forcibly filled in, but also by the child vomited out, and forcibly filled with medicine can also lead to the child is choking resulting in accidents. The 2 year old dodo recently fell ill with a fever, the mother took dodo to the hospital to see the doctor, just when the doctor prescribed drugs, dodo mother said how the child refused to take the medicine, asked the doctor what good way, the pediatrician said it is best to let the child eat, it is not possible to hide the drug in the slightly warm white buns or white rice inside the child to eat. As the child’s appetite is poor, eating white rice is just right, the mother cooked rice to a slight temperature and then added a slightly sweet drug, the child instead liked to eat, from the understanding of the first time since the tootoo sick medicine did not make a fuss! Why white buns or white rice generally does not affect the effectiveness of the medicine? Because the ingredients of steamed buns and white rice are mainly carbohydrates, which generally do not conflict with the drug and will not affect the effect of the drug, other foods are best not to eat with the drug, especially not recommended to use milk, juice and other drinks to send, so as not to affect the effectiveness of the drug, or other unpredictable consequences. Juice is acidic and can change the structure of the drug, affecting its efficacy and even bringing about adverse reactions. In addition, milk contains proteins, fatty acids and other macromolecular structures, which can affect the release and decomposition of the drug. It is worth noting that the general capsule type of drugs can not remove the capsule and pour the powder in the bun or rice with food, because the skin of the capsule has a protective effect on the human gastrointestinal, the risk of removing it can affect the gastrointestinal. There are also some medications that may require special attention, usually when you see a doctor, the doctor will specifically explain. However, the author believes that the best way to keep children from rejecting medication is to not let them grow up with a fear of taking medication. Generally speaking, the child’s fear of taking medicine is not only three reasons: 1, instillation Many adults believe that children are born to dislike medicine, from the beginning of the habit of giving children instillation, children often choked, unpleasant memories associated with drugs, so gradually developed a habit of rejection of medicine. 2, adult intimidation Some adults in daily life like to make children obedient by threatening them to take medicine, “you do not drink water, I have to give you medicine,” similar intimidation will make children feel that taking medicine is something bad. 3, the drug is too bitter Experiments have confirmed that babies on the second day of life have the ability to taste, bitter drugs will make the baby wrinkled head. But the fact is that most of the children’s drugs are sweet, so if adults do not start by means of dosing or intimidation, the child will not feel how painful it is to take medicine. So it is the adults who are responsible for the child’s rejection of medication. The most scientific and safe way is to let the child lean on the mother, and then use a syringe to send the drug into the baby’s mouth, if the child does not swallow, the mother can gently blow towards the baby’s face at the same time as the entrance of the medicine, the child will have a gag reflex, and the medicine will be swallowed. It is absolutely safe not to fill the medicine without pinching the nose.
