Great suggestion from a pediatrician!!! | ADHD Information

.IMac38943.6217361111.IMac38943.6220138889Can always use sugar-free chocolate tooI had to start taking pills when I was 5, and my mom taught me that if I took a drink of milk and held it in my mouth, then hold your head back, drop the pill in your mouth and swallow.  I still take pills like that today.   I have tried giving my three year old her Adderall 5mg. in applesauce and/or yogurt. She immediately spits it out. I mentioned this to our pediatrician yesterday and he gave me a great suggestion for giving her the medicine:

1. Give your little one a teaspoon of Hersheys chocolate syrup. It coates the mouth.

2. Give medicine.

3. Give another teaspoon of chocolate syrup so that they will let medication go down.

This worked wonders this morning. No fighting, running through the house etc.

I hope this helps others suffering from the same problem.

Thanks.Won't you get cavities from that though?Medication should be given with breakfast due to the decrease in appetite once it kicks in. Simply brush after breakfast and off to school.oh ok. That would work. I never thought of that.
