How Can I Get My Child To Take Zentel When He Is Refusing It And Spitting It Out Again And Again?

How can I get my child to take Zentel when he s refusing it and spitting it out again and again. He has have worms for a long time now because he refuses to take the medication . We ve tried putting it in all kinds of nice tasting stuff, but he keeps refusing it and spitting it out. Also in pill form. Is there a smart and pleasant way for the kid to get this vital medicine before his condition gets cronical...? Thanks.

hi there, Zentel is available in the form of syrup as well and you could try mixing it in a milkshake or other drink and give it to him. A small bribe or incentive of something he likes may also be helpful.If he is school going then you could try explaining to him the worm with pictures and let him know how it is harmful to him so that he will understand and will be willing to take it. Take care.
