OTC cold medicine for kids?

Do they make OTC cold medicine in the form of a tablet or something? My 3 y/o keeps spitting out the liquid stuff.

Try mixing it in something they like just be sure not to give em so much they can’t finish it right away

Crush pills or liquid in applesauce or whatever food he likes

Until you do find one, try mixing it with coffee Creamer…the sweetness over takes it
Or I seen a mom take a freeze pop, cut the tip and add the medicine (same color) then use a straightener for her hair to seal it again and freeze it

I give my son a spoonful of chocolate syrup then the medicine. It helps cut down the taste of the medicine.

The pink antibiotics I stir in sun butter and my son eats it as a butter and jelly sandwich. I’m sure it’ll work with any meds.

I highly recommend Herbs 4 Kids! Mine are grown now but these tinctures saved me on multiple occasions. They taste great on their own but you can also mix it with apple juice or formula. I even used some myself at one point. I recommend the echinacea and astragalus formulas for head cold and sinus allergies and infection. Another brand I found through my pediatrician is called Si Jin Bao AIR Tea. You mix it with chocolate milk, coffee or tea. My kids are 14 and 17 now and have never had the flu or COVID thanks to these natural products.

This says 4+ but if your child is almost 4 or on the bigger side, you could ask their doctor if you could give it to them. My son hates medicine, but he doesn’t mind this.

Because of weight and other issues. I recommend checking with your child’s dr first. Better to always be safe than sorry.

It’s best to mix the liquid in applesauce or pudding.

l get paid over $125 per hour working from home. l never thought I’d be able to do it but my buddy makes over $15425 a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The possibility with this is endless.

Homeopathic remedies are easily taken by kids as drops or small dissolving tablets that go under the tongue. They either have no taste, like water, or are sweet. Hyland’s brand as mentioned above are usually available in grocery stores; health food stores usually have a variety for kids. Bonus is they don’t just treat symptoms, they increase immunities. Also no artificial sugars or other nasty ingredients.

I put mine in my daughter’s sippy cup with just enough flavored water to drown out the taste

We get gas station icees or soda to mix. Sometimes mix in yogurt. They have tablets in some brands but I haven’t used them
