But when he would not take the medicine, you really don't have other options except to use suppositories.Dr Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882813780543748225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688149402170723675.post-65093769124165611562010-03-28T08:04:01.358-07:002010-03-28T08:04:01.358-07:00Hi Dr Tay,

But she hates the taste and we had to resort to putting it into her food. Is there any problem with this method and will she be getting the sufficient dosage?zaszonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10202872203835367127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688149402170723675.post-89256672755695273062009-07-25T09:23:50.420-07:002009-07-25T09:23:50.420-07:00Those gel made fever pad from Japan is not effecti...Those gel made fever pad from Japan is not effective at all.

There is no strict guidelines and parents should trust their instincts. If the child does not look well, it is safer just to bring the child to the doctor even if the fever is not that high.Dr Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882813780543748225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688149402170723675.post-35055592606426088112009-05-27T19:19:43.366-07:002009-05-27T19:19:43.366-07:00Dr Tay,

I've been using cold tap water but I'm always tempted to throw in some ice. Is that ok or does that make things worse?<br /><br />Thanks for your advice!<br /><br />cheers,<br />tara|ynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
