Refusing to take medicine

[Guest guest]

I know it sounds wierd but cf kids can have wierd tastes too try ketchup !

used to go thru not wanting to take them but something about the

ketchup packs(from mcs) used to make him swallow them .I think just to

have something different. Maybe it is time to have her help start counting

them out for you.If she controls some part of her care (yes even at her age)

it helps not to mention the toddler stage of me do it maybe she is just

early at it? BeckyB

First I can TOTALLY sympathize...we have been through this and it is so

difficult and frustrating. The people on this list helped us get through

with all their great suggestions. We tried all of them!

Try all kinds of different foods. We finally settled on sorbet and

loves to take his in that. Sometimes he shakes his head no and I say " you

know if you don't take your enzymes you will get a tummyache " and he usually

opens his mouth. Believe it or not, that works! It worked at 16 months old,

too, I didn't think he would understand but he does. If she eats without

taking them and does strain or appear uncomfortable while pooping,

definitely say " Shelby, that tummyache is because you did not take your

enzymes when you ate earlier. " It's a lot for a little one to understand,

but I think gently pointing it out works. They " get " more than we give them

credit for at this age.

Another mom, Lori I think?, suggested offering foods that are okay to eat

without enzymes. Like " here, Shelby, you can eat pretzels and juice, but

until you take your enzymes, you can't have your yogurt. " Just be really

consistent and though it sounds mean, don't ever feed her food with fat and

protein without the enzymes first...then she will know, no matter what she

does, she won't get her way (which is to eat without taking enzymes).

Another thing that works here is LOTS and LOTS of praise the second she even

begins to open her mouth to take them, or even if she isn't kicking and

biting. We say " is SUCH a big boy, look how he takes his enzymes, " as

we bring the spoon to his mouth and he proudly opens and swallows them.

" Wow, big boy, great job, " we say while giving him his ursodiol and other

medications. He has improved from a 10 month old who would spit out enzymes

CONSTANTLY (this happened for 2-3 months) to an 18 month old who 95% of the

time takes all medication happily.

One last point, don't get angry or frustrated in front of Shelby when she

refuses. This is the hardest part, for us, anyway, but that reaction will

just make her more anxious. And, it's negative attention, and she may refuse

enzymes for that negative attention. This is part of why it took us so long

to get to stop spitting out enzymes. We were reacting to his behavior

negatively and unknowingly reinforcing that behavior.

I think every kid goes thru that. My youngest did it for a week and then

realize I wasn't go to give up she we had a bad week but after that she

decided to take them again. She swallowed pills by the time she was 1 year

old. So I would say don't give up keep pushing and try other foods to put it

in an even try having her swallow it whole. It wouldn't hurt her to bite it

she would probable just try to spit it out after a while. I would show her

how to swallow a pill and if she does praise her as MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Hope

this helps. Deb A

Hi all, I might have known things were going too well.

I need some advice. I know it has been discussed before but we have

tried most if not all the thing suggested and they are not working.

The problem is: Shelby - 16 months wcf has started to refuse to take

her medicine. Not just antibiotics but even her enzymes.

She is on Creon 10 and only takes 1 to 1 1/2 per meal or snack and we

were opening the capsules and putting the beads on to yoghurt or

apple sauce or anything else. She has suddenly (last few days)

started to refuse to take them. She won't open her mouth and screams

and kicks and even bites her mother. She is hungry and wants to eat

things but just won't take her enzymes. We have tried letting her eat

first then half way through trying to offer the enzymes but that

doesn't work either.

Obviously if she was older we could explain that if she doesn't take

them she will have a tummy ache but at 16 months she is too young to

understand. Any suggestions? I don't think she could swallow the

whole capsule she would try to chew it.

Luv Grandma Maggs

[Guest guest]

Have you tried the capsule drinking cup. If you would like one, I would

be happy to send. You could try.????? You put the capsule in a little

" shelf " on the inside nearer the top of cup

then put a forbidden fluid whatever she likes 7 you don't give her

(like coke .choc milk , coffee, what ever and make a game out of it .

She gets the drink at the bottom of cup , if she tilts high enough &

the capsule goes down her throat. Maybe even an added prize , it cup is

empty after. This would at least get her started back taking them. .she

would tire of it maybe , but , at this point anything goes..........let

me know with an address to ship to. No charge.good luck on whatever you

try & it works!!

She might not be to young to try to swallow them

whole. This is what we do with Patti (16 months

wcf)when she won't take her enzymes. We strap her in

the high chair and give her lots of saltine crackers

or pretzels. When her mouth is dry enough we giver

her an enzyme to put in her mouth and then give her a

drink from a straw. The sucking motion in the mouth

from using the straw generally helps the enzyme to go

down. You might check half way through the drink to

see if it has gone down or if you need to put it

further back in her mouth. We have found that by

giving Patti some control over her medicine she does

better. Are there any other kids in the family who

could give Shelby her medicine? Patti loves to take

her liquid meds. from her brother instead of us. It is

a pain when they refuse meds. :-)

Hi this is ,

If no one replys and says you have a cup I have one we never used. Oddly enough

on the way to clinic one day accidentally swallowed a spree and all the

way there I talked up about how small a capsule is compared to sprees (candies)

And if that went down they would be easier. Ever since then its been a piece of

cake for him. Reply back to me and let me know. I live in Connecticut and

would be happy to send it along

Dawn,

I agree about the control thing, still takes his enzymes in applesauce,

but when he decides he doesnt want them I tell him he needs them but he can

tell me when he is ready to take them, and he always takes them before he

eats, but on his terms not mine, makes him feel a bit better about it I

think.

Take care,

, mommy of 4, (17), and now a permitted driver, oh I am either

getting old or just prematurely gray, Caleb (7) and still bossing the others

around thinking he is the man of the house even though his daddy is home,

(6) she is gonna be my artist and support her momma, since none of them

are ever leaving home so they say, and (2 1/2) I believe he will be a

baseball player, has the best throw of anyone I know, and I have the bruises

to prove it, a big ole attitude, bright blue eyes and a devlish little grin,

oh yeah, and he has CF.

[Guest guest]

Just a thought but my son not quite two w/cf was staring to do the

same thing with refusing his medicines. Some because of the taste like

Zantac and predisone but the enzyme we haven't had to much problems when he

was little we started making it very routine medicine and then food is put on

his highchair but not until. Then my daycare told me that they cheer with

him and the other kids clap aloud to encourage him along. At lunch time

there he opens his mouth willfully and happily until all of his medicine is

gone.

Smiling and clapping along it almost becomes a game.

Hope you find something to work you.

:-) Patti will actually take the capsules back out of

her mouth and hand them to me while saying " No, no,

no. " Sometimes we fight about it when she does this

but still wants to eat some fatty food. She is a

stinker. Eventually, I just put the plate in eye

shot, but out of reach and if she really is hungry she

will pick them up and take them on her own.

She does the same thing with cpt. She runs the tv

while doing it. If I stop on a show she doesn't want

to watch, then she wiggles and is hard to hold. If I

stop on a show she likes she is very compliant and

still. She is too funny. :-)
