Today I just happened to come down with a cough and the doctor prescribed some very nasty tasting robitussin cough medicine. Does anyone know of a good way to cover up that nasty flavor I can't swallow?

I hate cough medicine, I usually hold my nose and take it like a shot so that it just goes down my throat without really hitting my tounge, than i chase it with some strong juice, like cranberry or grade to get the taste of the medicine out of my mouth.

It feels like it would want to correctly be Croup. if this is so cough drugs received't help a lot. Take her into the lavatory and sit down such as her even as the bathe is on and operating as warm as a threat. After 10-quarter-hour take her someplace she will breathe chilly air. The freezer works properly, so does the exterior air if this is chilly, Air Conditioners keep air cool also. call the well being care specialist and ask the well being care specialist's opinion. If it really is a cough from allergies Triminic has new strips (like the Listerine ones) that in case you fold them or maybe as she's laying again positioned it in her cheek pouch she will't spit it out. The pharmacist can mixture her over the counter drugs with those flavors they use on prescriptions for i imagine $2. in case you do supply her drugs try using a dropper and in uncomplicated words supply her somewhat at a time in her cheek interior the again by potential of her molars, this makes it more effective sturdy for her to spit out, yet received't unavoidably supply up her from gaging. wish that permits!

There is NOTHING that could mask that wretched tasting stuff. Just hold your nose when you take it. Make sure to have a drink on hand to wash the flavor out of your mouth.

Suck on an ice cube for a few minutes before drinking the cough syrup...it doesn't get rid of the taste altogether, but it's not as bad!
Hope that helps!

I don't know how to mask it but I always have a piece of cheese ready to eat as soon as I take it or it comes right back up. I hate the stuff. The cheese kills the taste of it as soon as you eat it.

Actually, at pharmacies, there is a flavor additive for kids to make it taste better. They have grape, strawberry, etc. Maybe bring your medicine to your pharmacy and ask for that.

When I give it to my 3-year old son, I put it in Root Beer, because that's what seems to mask it the best. It's the only way he'll take it. (Nothing will mask it completely, though.)
