how to get a child to swallow valtrex?

[Guest guest]

We just saw Dr. Goldberg this week & are very excited to start giving

our son his valtrex... the problem is, he's 3 & doesn't know about

swallowing pills. Any suggestions, recommendations would be very much

appreciated. For now, we have " cut " the pill into the dosage amount

(to the best of our ability) and put it in a muffin & let him chew &

swallow it. Our pharmacist said she didn't see anything in the

literature about problems with crushing the pill to take it.

Thanks!
