When a child is ill, it always leaves its mark on the soul of the parents. Sleepless nights, whims of a child, a lot of drugs. So, about medicines. What method do parents use to force a child to swallow a pill or potion. With screams and crying, the child still receives the prescribed ration, and the parents fearfully await the next medication. But you can act differently …
After visiting the pediatrician, you can tell the child about who the drugs are. You can even write a fairy tale about how the Queen Tablet defeats whole hordes of microbes - mutants. Children love to ask questions. Take advantage of this. Tell us in detail about the prescribed remedies: which cough medicine, which throat medicine.
Medication should be taken strictly according to the instructions. And you can drink them only with boiled water. Otherwise, an unpleasant chemical reaction may occur, which will lead to health problems. Read the instructions carefully. For all questions, do not hesitate to contact your pediatrician.
If your baby is less than two years old, the tablets need to be crushed into powder, which must then be diluted in sweetened water or compote. Never cheat on a child. By colorfully describing how great the tablet tastes, you risk even more. The child simply does not want to take any medication. Neither sweet nor bitter. Therefore, speak as it is.
In modern pharmacology, many different syrups with a pleasant fruity taste are produced for babies, which children ask for more. Keep a close eye on the bottles, they should be at a height and out of the child's field of vision. Never let your child play with medications. It could end badly. Even vitamins.
Never give medicine to a child by force, while he is crying or hysterical. He may choke, and will certainly not agree to the next medication. It is imperative to wait until the child calms down, and then the play method can lure him.
For a child after three years old, you can buy a children's doctor's kit. When you are sick, you and your child will have a great time playing doctor. Place the dolls and show that they are sick too and give them a pill (pretend, of course). Such games will familiarize your kid with the contents of the doctor's case, allow him to heal himself and not be afraid of doctors.
