Tips on getting children to take tablets

[Disneyfans]

Prednisolone isn't available in liquid form but it is in soluble.
The best option is in jam to be honest. Even in a sandwich or just in a spoon. They crush quite well and work just as well.

Always crushed tabs between 2 spoons then put sugar on top. Its what my Mum did for me as a child and I did for my children.

I was terrible at taking tablets until I started putting the water in first then putting the tablet in. It doesn’t always work but most of the time it does. I can now take two at a time easily.

He is allergic to so many things its a nightmare.
But I could pop one in each spoon full of porridge?

No fruit, no sweets, obviously no yogurt (apart from natural which he does not like) 😫😫

I have to cut my tablets in halves and then take a swig of milk, hold the milk in my mouth, force in a tablet without losing the milk and then take more milk and swallow, I’m the worst at taking tablets!

My mum has to take hers with a straw, she swears it’s the best way, but I prefer my way, although my way probably isn’t recommended.

This is what I do, drop the tablet into a pool of water already in my mouth then drink loads of water as I swallow.

They used to come in a soluble form- not sure what it tastes like or what dosage

Crush one tablet between two spoons and then mix it with jam.
