Every fall, the same pattern shows up in pediatricians' offices and pharmacies across the country: a few weeks after the first day of school, sick visits spike. Classrooms, cafeterias, and carpool lines are efficient at a lot of things — sharing germs chief among them. For parents, that usually means one very familiar battle: getting a squirming, protesting kid to actually swallow a dose of medicine.

## Quick Guide: How to Get Kids to Take Amoxicillin in 7 Easy Steps

1. **Ask Your Pharmacy About Flavoring:** Request custom FLAVORx flavoring for amoxicillin to mask the taste with kid-friendly options like bubblegum or grape.
2. **Use the Right Measuring Tool:** Always use an oral syringe instead of household spoons for accurate dosing.
3. **Prepare the Dose Correctly:** Shake the bottle well and measure the exact amount prescribed by your pediatrician.
4. **Position Your Child Properly:** Have your child sit upright to make swallowing easier and reduce choking risk.
5. **Give Medicine in Small Amounts:** Squirt small portions into the cheek pouch rather than the back of the throat.
6. **Offer a Chaser Drink:** Have your child's favorite beverage ready to wash down the taste immediately after.

1. **Stay Calm and Positive:** Keep medicine-time relaxed with praise and encouragement to build positive associations.

## How to Help Your Child Take Amoxicillin Safely

### 1. Use the Right Measuring Tool

Accurate dosing starts with the right equipment. Household spoons vary widely in size and can lead to under- or over-dosing. The [American Academy of Pediatrics recommends](https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at-home/medication-safety/Pages/Using-Liquid-Medicines.aspx) using an oral syringe or calibrated dropper that comes with the prescription.

Getting a toddler to take liquid medicine can test even the most patient parent. When your little one clamps their mouth shut or turns away from the syringe, you might feel stuck between needing them to get better and not wanting to force the issue.

Goodbye winter, hello spring! The sun is shining and the weather is warm, which for kids around the country means a return to outdoor sports and long days playing outdoors. While lots of time spent outside typically makes spring a happy time for kids, seasonal allergies can put a damper on those high spirits.

 

Fortunately, parents have their pick of antihistamines available to ease kids' allergies. Kids are in luck too - pharmacies can customize the taste of their allergy medicine with a favorite flavor. To make sure sniffles, sneezes, and itchy eyes don't keep kids from enjoying their time outside, FLAVORx flavoring is available to make it easier for kids to take allergy medicine.
