HELP!

posted 13th Jan
What do you do for your toddlers (if you have any!) when they are sick? Brooklyn is just starting to get better, but Kenneth is horribly sick now. He has a fever, sore throat, cough, & vomiting. He will NOT take his medicine. He spits it out, I have tried giving it to him by mixing it in his cup, bribing him, & holding him down. He will NOT take it. His fever is super high and when he was 3 months old he had a febrile seizure so I am very concerned. Any tips on how to get him to take his medicine? I'm stuck with baths to keep his fever down and that only lasts so long. Other than that nothing. He wont eat a Popsicle and is barely drinking any of his water/pedialyte.

try mixing it in with something. Yogurt, applesauce, even chocolate pudding. Anything like that just mix it up good and let him eat it.

Did you try squeezing his cheeks while you have him pinned down? He may be to old for that though.
