Everything is possible, and in this case it is indeed so. Wise parents have long ago developed a certain scheme, following which it is possible to avoid children's hysteria, and the nerves of adults will remain in order. Let us consider these methods.
Topical tips on how to treat a child with a drug
It is important to read the instructions before using any medication. It is necessary to pay attention to the described contraindications, as well as all sorts of side effects to be aware of. It should be in an accessible language that your kid will understand, explain why you are offering him this medicine and for what it's needed. Any child shows a great interest in the nature of his origin, and everything that is connected is caused by their curiosity. Thus, there is a much greater chance that your baby will still drink the medicine himself, by voluntary means.
Admission of the drug can be turned into an extraordinary game. If you have a rich imagination, then it will not work for you to think anything of the sort. It is possible, for example, to tell the kid a fairy tale omicros who want to capture the body and about heroes-medicines that they want to hurry to help. Thus, the child is necessarily interested in such an interesting event, and will necessarily want to help the good heroes.
Many parents have repeatedly heard that taking medicinal drugs to reduce the possible risk of irritation of the mucous membrane, it is necessary to wash them with milk. All specialists in this field, as well as pediatricians recommend any medications, includingmixtures, suspensions, tablets and capsules, only with freshly boiled water at a neutral temperature. If desired, the water can be sweetened so that it is more pleasant to the taste for the baby. And if the medicine is too harsh, you can make a weak sweet tea.
For children under three years: a lie in salvation
Of course, it is possible to agree on voluntary consent to take this or another medicine only with children whose age suggests that they will undoubtedly understand. But what about the younger children? In this case, the medicine should be given in a fraudulent manner, that is, by cunning.
A greater difficulty in adults is the use of medicines in the form of tablets. The fact is that children at a young age just do not know how to drink them. And in the event that somehow you manage to persuade the girl to drink a pill, there is a possibility of vomiting. For this reason, doctors recommend to rub tablets to the state of powder. This process is not difficult to implement. You can use tea spoons as an assistant, in one of which you should put a pill, and grate it with a second leg to powder. Only it is necessary to take into account the fact that spoons must be dry at the same time, in order to achieve a better effect.
A similar powder can be melt in any child's drink: tea or compote. It should be noted that for such purposes, it is not recommended to use mineral water or juice, since the drug can enter into a chemical interaction with them. And the consequences of such a process can be different.
Powder must be mixed very thoroughly until completely dissolved. The medicine should not remain on the walls of the vessel after the child drinks the liquid. It is important to note that if your baby spit out a part of the liquid with the medicine, you should never add a drug to the eye, estimating proportions by eye. In this case, there is a possibility of an overdose, which will lead to not the best results for a child's organism. It will be more appropriate to wait for the next hour of taking the remedy and then to see that the baby drank everything to the end.
Pay attention also that it is strictly forbidden to deceive the kid about the taste of a medicine, such as a mixture or suspension, which is not dissolving in any way in a sweet liquid. After all, in this case, the child can get to you the confidence and the next time to persuade to take the medicine the child will be problematic.
As for various suspensions, at present they are made with the addition of various sweeteners and flavors, which is an advantage for parents, because in this way the child does not want to use them. But in the event that the child has an allergy after the application of such a drug, it is difficult to understand what exactly caused it, those same sweeteners or the drug itself.
As for drugs in the form of tablets, most parents resort to methods such as mixing the powder with jam, condensed milk or other sweet foods. After all, adults believe that this way the child will be easier to drink this remedy. In some ways they are right, but there is a minus of this point of view. In the event that the taste of the medicine interrupts the addition of the product itself, which you added, the child may develop a strong aversion to a similar product in the future. Therefore, it is strictly not necessary to mix the medicinal product in the mandatory food for the children's menu, such as yogurt, cottage cheese or milk.
It is important to remember the observance of certain security measures. It is strictly forbidden to force a child to drink a certain remedy. You can choke a child with them, or you can provoke a vomiting reflex in this way.
It is very important to bear in mind that the child in no case should not take even sweet and insignificant medicines alone. Suchlike should always be carried out under your strict supervision.
