A member asked:

How can i get my child to take azithromycin? he keeps spitting it out.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try cover taste: I like peanut butter as a dominant cover taste that most kids will except. The dose can be folded into a dab of pb and fed on a cracker, covers almost any taste. Some of my parents have a compounding pharmacy add other special flavorings.
