How To Give Medicine To An Infant?
My son is 2 years and 4 months and he has a fever. I can estimate about 102 and it started on monday. He has severe feeding issues so taking medici e is hard so i try to put it in his bottle. He has figured out the taste and now refuses to drink it. I have done baths but that is temporary. I cant get an accurate temperature because he runs away. We even held him down and gave medicine through syringe and he threw it up from getting worked up. What should i do?

Hi,
I have gone through the medical history of your son and am sorry for the situation he is in.
From what you are describing, he is going through viral infection and that your son is not collaborative in taking the medicines. So, to my opinion, it is time to send him to the pediatrician and discuss about giving the medicines intravenously.
Wish fast recovery!
