I need help, my son has to take liquid steroids but he hate it and wont take it. How can I get him to drink it? I have tried chocolate milk, Dr. Pepper, pancake syrup and tea.

There are pill forms of the steroids but that depends on the age. Ask them to flavor the liquid that’s what I did when my son couldn’t take the pill form. I hate to say this but there were times I had to put him in my lap and wrap my legs around his arms and open his mouth and put the medicine in then held his nose for he would swallow and not spit it out. And before anybody says oh that’s abusive no it isn’t cause my son needed the medication and he was a strong little guy to the point it took 4 nurses at one time to get an iv in his arm AND yes my mama heart exploded with guilt and sadness.
