Is it possible to mix a liquid antibiotic with yogurt or compote?

This is for my 13 month old daughter who hates the taste of the prescribed medication and spits it out (VERY difficult to get her to swallow the full dose)!

Hello Ma'am,

Yes, it can be done, as long as the full dose is taken by your baby.

So, I would recommend mixing with little liquid (and starting with applesauce, it usually works best).

Good evening,

Alexandre
