Valtrex/diflucan - forms & how to get into child

[Guest guest]

We are preparing to start Valtrex for 2 of our children. Our

practitioner wants us to start Diflucan for our 13yo to prepare (he's

on Nystatin now). He usually has *big* reactions to yeast meds, so

we'll have to go low & slow.

My 2yo had a respitory reaction to diflucan. He was getting too much

too quick though, I believe. I'd like to try him again, low & slow, &

she agrees.

Problem - I can't get any meds into 2yo. He is very tough to get meds

into; very tough. can't stand the taste; clamps mouth shut. Even if we

get it down him he spits it back up. We're always in fear of him

choking. I want to start the diflucan again but this is a huge problem;

any thoughts or ideas?

Also problem - I'm told the valtrex is NASTY to taste. Not sure if 13yo

will be okay with it; he takes an awful lot from me. But for 2yo;

forget it. He's a ways off from trying it, but again, for either child,

asking for ideas how you get this into them.

Thanks again in advance,

Michele
