How are Medications Administered to Children?

Administering medication to children can be challenging due to factors like taste aversion and fear of needles. Common forms include:
- Oral medications such as syrups and chewable tablets.
- Topical applications like creams and ointments.
- Inhalers for respiratory conditions.
- Injectables for vaccines and severe conditions.
Pediatricians often employ creative strategies to encourage compliance, such as flavoring medicines and using distraction techniques.
