Hi :)
DS was diagnosed yesterday with Scarlet Fever. He's on a big dose of Antibiotics (penicillin) - he has to have 5ml, four times a day.
He has never had a problem taking any medicine before, however, he is really struggling with this. Don't get me wrong, he will still take the medicine, after the tears and me threatening to take him to the hospital if he doesn't, but I was really hoping you ladies may have some advice on "helping the medicine go down" - So to speak. Whether there's anything that will make it more bareable for him to take? Something before, during or after the dose is given. He will be taking four doses, for the next 10 days. I am dreading it if this is the reaction we will get each time.
Thank you in advance.
