Many kids hate taking medicine. There's a company that wants to make that easier. KidKupz provides candy-rimmed dosing cups to ease the taste of the medicine. Flavors include sour cherry, blue raspberry, watermelon, and green apple. A box of 6 cups is $7, or you can get a pack of 4 (24 cups) - one in each flavor - for $21.
Or...you can go for some much more inexpensive ways. Try dipping your own dosing cups in sugar before filling with the medicine. Or allow your child to have a spoon of chocolate syrup before and after the medicine (or some other sweet, like honey or maple syrup). You can also mask the taste using a spoonful of ice cream, applesauce, or pudding.
Got any other tricks?
