Periorbital Cellulitis - Help With Strong Medicine. Posted: 11-13-03 21:47pm
:d hi ppl
my nephew has just come out of hospital
with diagnosis of periorbital cellulitis,
the medicine given was a drug called
flucloxillilin - the only problem is my
nephew wont take it, because its really
strong and yucky, he's only 3yrs.
Is there anything anyone can suggest make
taking this pill easier for my lil nephew.
I understand that this is the only form
of medicine here in new zealand for this
disease and that there are no other
alternatives and also that it is vital
that he takes it but im just stuck on how
to get him to take it, we've tried
putting it in his jam, cereal, but he wont
drink. His mother has even tasted it to
see what his big fuss was about and she
complained it was disgusting. I need
help, can anyone suggest something please.
