Make sure the child is sitting up when you are giving them oral medication.

All medications can be mixed with food to disguise the taste.

Child doses should never exceed the adult dose, regardless of the size of the child.

When giving medication with an oral syringe, squirt the syringe directly into the back of the throat.

If the child is old enough, offer them the option of taking PO medication through an oral syringe or medicine cup.
