A member asked:
My child will not take her antibiotics. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No choices: This is a common problem. Children often refuse medicines, but there are no choices. Medicines can be flavored but this often does not work. This is a battle that you must win. It is hard but be persistent and once you win the battle the fighting will be over. Do whatever it takes!
