Medicine Hack

I might be late to the party with this one, but if your little one is fighting the yucky tasting medicine (Flucloxacillin if you're wondering - it's the worst!) and you're battling 4x a day to get it down them by trying all the usual methods (squirting into the cheek, mixing with cordial, covering the tongue with nut butter or bribing them with chocolate afterwards...and still getting it spat back out) - then let me introduce you to the hack that saved us (and our clothes) on day 5:

A large silicone straw is best as it maximises the amount of water intake, and they can squish it, unlike a metal straw.

Pop the straw (with a LARGE cup of water or juice) in one cheek and the syringe of medicine into the other side and slowly administer the medicine as they start drinking the water through the straw.

Phew

Save this one for later - I hope you don't need it, but kids and germs are like magnets, especially at this time of year!
