Guest guest Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Cheleta, This is how I got my son to take meds. I would mix the crushed medicine in Mocha Mix non-dairy ice cream or sorbet and put it on a teaspoon. (The Mocha Mix Ice Cream is in with the other ice creams at stores here.) Then I would give it to my son and follow it with a water chaser. Frozen foods tend to make your taste buds not as sensitive. When he was older this is how I taught him to take pills. I would cut the pills into small pieces and surround them in the ice cream and put them on a spoon. Once again follow it with a water chaser. Eventually when he was ready, we eliminated the ice cream. Hope this helps! Marcia Hinds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hi guys! What you think about trying Valtrex to a child who has no titres, but his mom had cases of virus recently. And what do you think about candida growing on antiviral - is this a good sign?
