Ask the pharmacy to flavor the antibiotics
Tina:
Many pharmacies don't advertise this very well and some charge extra for it, but it is worth it if it keeps the medicine down... take the liquid antibiotic back to the pharmacy and ask them to add flavor to it (they should have two or three - like grape, bubble gum, etc.).
I did this with liquid meds for previous fd and it worked like a charm - no gagging, no mess, no trauma. Might be worth asking about?
Hope your little one is quickly on the mend!
