First time mom in worry wart mode.
9 mo DS has a throat Viral infection with high fever. He refuses to take in any liquids as it hurts him to swallow. Doc has seen him twice and has prescribed medication. Dr is also keen that I keep feeding him 'plenty of liquids'. Have been giving him water (calpol and as of yesterday Amoxycillin) through a syringe, he hates it and he pushes out quite quickly.
My questions:
- are there any ways of giving him liquids which wont upset him as much as the syringe does?
- has anyone given 9mo amoxycillin before - what are the side effects of it? and is there anything that i can give him now which can make him stomach happy post medication?
any advice will be really helpful. Thanks.
