If a child refuses to take medicine, for younger children, it is recommended to use a syringe to feed the medicine, mix it into a milk bottle, or use a dropper. For slightly older children, it is recommended to put the medicine in a drink bottle. Here are some detailed suggestions:

For children aged 1.0 to 5 months:

It is recommended to use a syringe to feed the medicine into their mouths. Avoid using a spoon as it may frighten the baby and make them resistant to taking medicine. When pushing the syringe, do not push too fast to avoid choking the baby.

Mixing medicine into a milk bottle:

Add an appropriate amount of sugar to the medicine to mask the bitter taste. Put on the nipple and let the baby suck on it like drinking milk, swallowing the medicine along with it. When the baby senses the bitter taste, the medicine will already be swallowed. Remember to stop feeding the medicine if the baby starts crying as their crying may cause them to choke on the medicine.

Using a dropper:

Dilute the medicine with warm water and use a dropper to slowly drip it into the baby's mouth. Avoid operating too quickly to prevent choking. If the medicine is too bitter, you can add a little sugar to neutralize the taste, making it easier for the baby to accept.

For children who have difficulty swallowing medicine:

You can first try inducing them to drink the medicine from a milk bottle. You can also add some sugar or orange powder to the medicine to improve its taste. If the situation does not improve, consider administering the medicine through intramuscular injection or intravenous drip. Do not delay treatment due to the child's inability to swallow medicine, and never force them to take it.

For slightly older children, such as those attending kindergarten:

You can put the medicine in a drink bottle and tell them it's a beverage. Since children often enjoy drinking beverages, they will likely consume the medicine without realizing it. The taste of children's medicine is usually sweet, so they are unlikely to notice.
