Penicillin

My daughter has tonsillitis so has been prescribed penicillin however she is refusing to take it as she doesn’t like it. It’s a big struggle ! Wondering if anyone has any tips 😬

We had to mix with yogurt

My son accepts any medicine if I give it in a calpol syringe so maybe if that’s the case for your daughter food colouring to make it pink and using a syringe might work. Good luck 🤞

We put ours in either a little pot of fromage frais or a yoghurt drink and he took it no problems then but off a spoon was absolute no chance for us x

Thanks ladies! Maybe I’ll give the yoghurt a try! She won’t even have calpol but does like nurofen but the penicillin we’ve got is bright red 🤦🏻‍♀️x

My girl wouldn’t take it either, gaged and threw it up each time. Stressed me and her out. So i called them and they changed it to amoxicillin the banana one which she likes the taste of and takes it off the spoon! Hope she feels better soon! X

I found using a syringe and squirting it into the side of the cheek works for all of mine x

Omg same. I've put it in his wheatabix for breakfast or a yogurt for tea but the other 2 doses have been hell and he's thrown it up twice. I'm stressed. I'll ring the pharmacy!
