Hi,
I know it's difficult to manage children. Why talk about children, even we try to avoid injections. However, when the treating doctor is insisting, it's better to follow doctors instructions. The child can be managed well by promising what she loves to have! Please stick to the advised regime and avoid probable relapse.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
