Feeding cold medicine to children after they catch a cold is the most troublesome thing, because cold medicine usually tastes bad and children are unwilling to swallow it. Sugar water is also a favorite drink for children, so parents want their children to drink cold medicine and sugar water together, but they are worried about affecting the efficacy. So, can children's cold medicine be consumed together with sugar water?
Children's cold medicine should not be consumed together with sugar water because parents do not understand the types of cold medicine. If sugar water changes the efficacy, it may not have the corresponding therapeutic effect and cause more pain to the baby. Therefore, it is best not to drink sugar water and cold medicine together. If the medicine is too bitter, it is also acceptable. After taking cold medicine, take some sugar to relieve symptoms. Generally, sugar can irritate the throat and lead to more severe coughing.
If a baby has a cold and is unwilling to take medicine, they can also use some tips to make the baby accept it. If the desired taste is difficult for the baby to accept, you can consult a doctor and ask them to switch to a medication with similar therapeutic effects and a better taste, so that the baby will be more willing to eat it. If the baby vomits out after taking medication, intravenous infusion can also be used for treatment.
Parents can also change the medication feeding tool to something that can attract the baby's attention, such as cute and interesting tools that will make the baby willing to open their mouth, and putting the medication in what the baby likes to eat, the baby may also be able to take it smoothly. This way, when feeding the baby, it is not easy to cry, and parents are more relaxed.
