It is wrong to hold down an older kid. It’s very traumatic.

He doesn’t seem traumatized at all. He used to get a different medicine for strep that tasted much worse and I think he was scared that this one tastes bad too. Now that I forced him to take it he realizes the taste is not so bad.

Is this what your Doc told you or did you make this up?

Had you asked your Doc -he/she would have told you for Strep Throat you can give one shot of Penicillin G, not 10.

I certainly wouldn’t make this up. I assumed that he should be able to get one injection and so I asked for it, but the doctors office told me he would need one every day. Thanks for the info though. It’s good to know.
