After the baby has finished taking the medicine, put the baby upright; Pat him on the back, help him carry the medicine down, and feed him some warm water, which can quickly remove the residual smell of the medicine in his mouth and avoid causing vomiting.

2. For babies under 1 year old, it is most suitable to use a small dropper to feed the medicine. After sucking the small dropper into the medicine (you can mix it with a little sugar), put it into the child's mouth, put the dropper mouth between the buccal mucosa and the gums on one side to squeeze a small amount of the medicine, wait for the child to swallow and then continue to feed the next mouthful, and then feed a few mouthfuls of water after eating the medicine, and then kiss and praise the child.

If the baby does not like to take medicine, parents can use a disposable syringe to pull out the needle first, suck the medicine into the syringe (if it is a tablet or powder, it should be dissolved with warm water first), and the pointed mouth part is put into the baby's mouth and slowly injected into it. Be careful to be slow, you can gently blow into the baby's face at the same time as the potion is inhaled, and the baby will have a swallowing reflex, and the potion will be swallowed.

The specific method is to suck the medicinal dropper, put it in the baby's mouth, take advantage of the baby's mouth, immediately drop the medicine into his mouth, and blow a breath on the baby's face when aiming at it, and the baby will make a swallowing action. Repeat this a few times, and the medicine in the dropper will be fed.

It is said that this swallowing reflex is only present before the baby is two years old and disappears after the age of two.
