Does it taste bad is that why she is finding it? have you
tried giving her a “treat” after. Tell her if she takes this she
will get (whatever she REALLY REALLY likes) after. Don’t know if it will work
for meds, worked for potty training. My son was older when he as diagnosed so I
just told him he had to take it and it was pills, easier.
I will ask around and see if anyone has any inside.

[Cent_Wa_Epilepsy_Support] Child with Absence seizures
I am looking for wisdom! I have a 4 year old recently
diagnosed with
absence seizures. She is to take Zarontin twice a day. This child has
never ever willingly taken medication. I usually end up wearing it. I
have been hiding the Zarontin in food and drink but she figures it out
and then refuses to eat or drink that item. I am so very frustrated
and worried. I can see the seizures get worse when she doesn't get a
dose. Can anyone offer suggestions?
