@dr.tommymartin: Medication taste test. Getting children to take medication can be so hard and that is partly due to the fact that some of the medication‘s taste terrible. #pediatrics #medicalstudent #residency #doctor #tastetest #LearnOnTikTok

As an autism mom, I’m SO thankful for the antibiotic shot they have out now. My kids REFUSE almost all meds so it makes it easier for them to get better!

Prednisone was the one that both of my kids hated! Glad to hear they changed it.

I was so happy my kids started swallowing pills by the time they were 5 or 6 years old.

I can imagine the pill Zofran wouldn’t be awful for a kid to take either because it just dissolves pretty quickly

Clinda & pred is why my son learned how to swallow pills by age 3. He frequently had to take them and Pęd said if he learned how to swallow pills, he would switch from liquid. He quickly mastered it

They stopped doing this in our residency before I even got there (started in 2011). I also did UAMS for med school and I don’t think we did it there

My son is autistic, he was extremely sensitive to taste, several would make him gag. Now he takes pills. It’s a breeze now.

I know you’re just “tasting”, but taking all those meds when you don’t need them can’t be good for you!
