@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
Wait how is this safe to “taste test” these medicines isn’t that dangerous!?😅

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!

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

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