This is a quick to for all the mommies out there. Mikel has a terrible sinus infection that he hasn't been able to shake for months. They did a culture swab during his past surgery for tubes and adenoidectomy and the results came back that the particular strans of bacteria causing this sinus infection are not killed by typical antibiotics. The solution? Let's prescribe my little baby a nasty, yucky rotten egg smelling antibiotic that he has to take for THREE WEEKS...THREE TIMES A DAY!!!
Normally I just mix it in with his milk but he seemed to catch on to that. Yeah...sooo he already HATES taking antibiotics so I figured out a clever way to get him to take it no problem.
ICE CREAM!!!!!
First I had the medication flavored at my local pharmacy. I know both CVS and Walgreens offer flavoring services for $2.99 but Walmart does not (they claim all their meds already come flavored...umm no). He likes the Banana and Bubblegum flavors. This time I got it done in Banana. Then I bought him sugar free Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream. Take only a tablespoon or less and put it in a small bowl. Measure the antibiotic amount and mix it into the ice cream. Viola! An instant antibiotic smoothie lol!
He has to take this med THREE times a day so I will probably mix and mingle with ice cream, applesauce, yogurt, and pudding. Just be sure to not dilute it too much! Have fun and be creative with the flavors. Good luck and hope it works for you and your sick little one!
