Re: Re: How to give Nystatin????

[Guest guest]

I would try ice cold grape juice, if he likes it and you don't have any phenol

issues. I'm able to give my son enzymes in grape juice only. I also find it

helps to have them suck it through a straw; I think it helps bypass the taste

buds a little.

Good luck,

Can he swallow pills...if so I would just recap em. If not...I guess

it is one of two things...actually 3....put it in the smallest amount

of liquid possible....and then give him a special treat of a fav drink

for being so good....the reward system......hold him down and do

it...and explain he has to take his meds...or not give it. If you can

get it down him...please remember to add some COQ10 to his

sups...nystatin is a statin and I believe I have been told that statins

deplete COQ10.
