Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Administer the medication with a syringe without needle placed alongside of the infant's tongue. The contents are administered slowly in small amounts,allowing the child to swallow between deposits. Medications should be given slowly to avoid aspiration. The medication should be mixed with only a small amount of food or liquid. If the child does not finish drinking/eating,it is difficult to determine how much medication was consumed. Essential foods also should not be used. Holding the child's nasal passages increases the risk of aspiration.
