My 2 year old has viral tonsilitis, nasty! It's triggered him quite badly
He's been prescribed prednisolone and I'm wondering how long it takes to work, any tips on hiding tablets, and should it completely eradicate a cough? His cough was so bad it made him vomit this morning ( cough variant type) but now it's just three or four coughs, no more coughing fits or coughing fits when moving/ talking. Is this the kind of improvement that would be expected? Really struggling to get this down him, he's spat out 3 loads already and refused to drink strong ribena with it mixed in x
Pred should be starting to work in 2 hours. The idea is that he should be back to normal asthma wise by the end of the course. and if not then back to docs.
I hope he gets better soon.
I found crushing tablets (as long as the instructions dont crush) and mixing with a real treat yogurt (like a chocolate one!!) worked a treat to get my son to take tablets when he was younger.
Good luck, its heartbreaking forcing meds in them they don't want but you know will help them!

I mean instructions don't say they can't be crushed, hope that makes sense!!!
