Have any of you had children who do not take oral pain meds (pills)?
My dd won't take a pill unless it's in peanut butter. And it was an effort to get her to do it then.
So now I'm concerned that when she needs oral pain meds after surgery, she will be unable to take them (although some may say she'll grab those meds and swallow them if she hurts that badly!).
Any suggestions? Or what usually happens when children won't swallow pills?
What happens with the younger pediatric patients who don't swallow pills yet?
Also, any suggestions on how to swallow pills will be appreciated.
