Your Child Doesn't Want to Take Medicine? This is the Solution

Why do children refuse drugs? Perhaps because the taste of the drug is not good, even if it is added flavor that is usually favored by children, whether strawberries or oranges. And also, because according to the sick child, everything feels like command, demand and distraction.

1. Understand what the Natural Child is

The sick child is already in an emotional state and regression. This can give rise to rejection of whatever is suggested. To avoid arguments and arguments, acknowledge your child's feelings. You may say, "You may not want to take this medicine now, but after you drink it, you'll feel better soon." Then give the option to make the drug more swallowing and pleasant. Is it easier to say than done? Well, the tips below that have been tested, may be able to help you.

2. Explain how the medicine keeps the children healed

Young children do not always understand how drugs work. You can explain it by saying, "This medicine will help you feel better so you can get back to playing in the park." You can also explain what the medicine can accomplish. "Last night you did not wake up at all. Well that's because the medicine has taken your pain. "

3. Make the taste of the medicine better, provided the doctor approved

Sometimes, liquid drugs that have been cooled become more easily swallowed by children. And if your doctor allows you, you can either put the drug into juice or add flavor to it. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether the medicine to give to your child does not taste good, and if it is safe to add flavor to it. You also ask if it is safe to mix liquid medicine with juice or food. Most importantly, ask your child's doctor or nurse to make sure, before you do so. Orange juice is often used to hide the taste of drugs that are not good.

4. Give medicine at the same time and place

It helps create a certain point in your home to give medicine and create a routine. To be on schedule, paste the list on the door of your child's refrigerator or door. Whenever you finish taking the medicine, ask your child to cross out or stick a sticker on the list.

Drinking drugs is something that should not be negotiable, but other things can. Even the simplest option will satisfy the child's need for a sense of control over his state and body. Give two simple choices like, "Do you want to take the medicine before dressing or after?" Or "After taking the medicine you want apple, orange or grape juice?"

 6. Avoid coercion physically

If you start holding your child tightly to give him medicine then the next time you are forced to do it again and again. Well, if you have to physically force children to take medication on a regular basis, you should immediately consult a doctor or nurse for professional advice.

7. Explain the consequences

If the child refuses to take the medicine, explain that he is making a choice that has some consequences. You can say, "So Mama is watching you deliberately choosing to stay at home and not go out to play unless you want to take this medicine." And if she still does not take medication and you almost force her to drink, try saying like, "Mama see you choose to get Mama to take medicine instead of drinking herself .."

8. If your child still refuses, give him a 'pause'

Before you take away his privileges, try giving your child some sort of pause or rest for a while. This allows him to save his face and restore himself, physically and emotionally. Maybe you yourself also need to pause, hug your child or drink water and take a deep breath. But make sure that this five or ten minute pause only lasts that long, not delay. Usually, after a pause, the child and yourself will be easier, no longer need to argue.

Forced Drinking Children Drugs Can Make Trauma

Parents are required to be more patient and creative when giving medicine to their sick children. When children are forced to take drugs, then this has the potential to cause prolonged trauma. Forms of coercion to children is often done by the parents through the act of scolding, threatening, and even forced to give medicine by covering the child's nose. Although the drug eventually swallowed, but this action can actually be dangerous. Because the child can choke, raises fears until trauma.

"The principle is when the child takes the medicine by being told, or the mother can set an example to the child so that the child is not afraid and there is no compulsion"

Parents can creatively provide drugs to children through games or can also work with pediatricians. Parents can ask for medicine to the doctor with a good taste like the taste of fruits that children love. Parents should not be too hasty to give children a drug. For example, when the illness suffered by children is still relatively mild like a cough or a cold, parents just give a drink of warm water, warm balm and healthy food. For infants, can be dried in the morning.
