My daughter started taking her meds at age 2. She was the same way
about taking any medications. I too would end up wearing it. But when
it came time to start taking the seizxure meds, I explained to her
that it was for head so that she would feel better. I guess she was
feeling pretty bad because she took it swith no problems. She is know
on Carbotrol. I put it in apple sauce and she seems to like it. She is
3years old know and everyonce in awhile she will refuse to take it.
Sometimes I will tell her that I will have to call her doctor if she
wont take it. I have actually called her doctor and she taked to my
daughter. It works, I would try that. I hope something will work!!!!
Good Luck!!!!!
