Would no flavor be worse?</p> <p>@Rubies: yeah, I don't like cherry either. Apple is a good idea! Who doesn't like apples?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-968613 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 07:42:53 +0000 anbanan15 968613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS only willingly takes medications that are dye free and grape flavored. Luckily a lot come that way. </p> <p>@Cole: Ditto! Being able to swallow meds was such a chdhood highlight! No more nasty liquid amoxicillin for me haha</p> <p>@LaineysMom: It's mint flavored?!? DS's Zantac always just tasted like straight up alcohol to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-968587 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 07:16:50 +0000 cheert16 968587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Urg- they are all nasty!! I still have to hold my nose to take cough medicine, etc. When my LO needed Tylenol after his 2 month shots, when I put the cherry flavored Tylenol in his mouth he looked shocked! His only flavor to that point had been BM! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-968535 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 06:29:00 +0000 petunia354 968535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wondered why they flavor it. My 7 month old doesn't know what "cherry" flavor is.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-968470 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 01:52:34 +0000 LaineysMom 968470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our baby Zantac is MINT flavored.. Luckily LO doesn't mind minty milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-968127 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 20:51:58 +0000 BunnyDragon 968127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I avoid cherry and bubblegum flavored medicine. They taste awful. Grape does taste better. I had my LO's antibiotics flavored at Walgreens because my pharmacy doesn't offer medication flavoring. My LO didn't fight me as much. Don't pick your own flavor. Ask them what the recommended flavors are. I don't know if they can flavor over the counter medications, but all they need is the NDC (national drug code) on the bottle to find out if they can or cannot. I highly recommend flavoring if you have to give multiple doses per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-968054 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 20:12:14 +0000 Rubies 968054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think grape is the best flavour. I don't like cherry - or, I would think it tasted like Halls or something.</p> <p>There should be an apple flavour - I love apple-flavoured things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-968048 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 20:09:32 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 968048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only tolerate the cherry flavors of stuff. I hated Dimetapp as a kid. And Triaminic made this horrible banana flavored cough medicine we used to have to take when we had bronchitis (every winter). My mom used to have to pin each of us down between her knees and force feed it to us because it was so foul tasting. I wasn't usually a fighter about meds but I fought that stuff every. single. time. It was nightmare inducing. </p> <p>Wonder why they have to make medicine "taste" at all? All that fake flavoring and dyes can't be good for the wee ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-967993 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 19:45:10 +0000 Andrea 967993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: @chopsuey119: grape is my favorite! wish they had grape! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-967987 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 19:39:46 +0000 Cole 967987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are all repulsive! I was overjoyed as a kid when I was finally allowed to swallow medication! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-967977 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 19:31:23 +0000 chopsuey 967977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I like grape and I think cherry is okay too!<br /> I'm a Tylenol fan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-967968 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 19:26:25 +0000 betsyboop 967968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to LOVE Dimetapp's grape flavor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-that-childrens-medicine-comes-in-yucky-flavors#post-967961 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 19:22:12 +0000 Andrea 967961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to pick up Advil tonight and the choicest were blue raspberry and bubble gum. Neither appealed to me! </p>
