BeeRae22 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 What's "the cup"? Doc says Mino is preferable to Doxy for kids-- less nausea and less sun exposure issues.... Local pharmacy is ordering me a bottle of compounding flavoring in case I want to buy it. I might just try juice concentrate first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local pharmacy is ordering me a bottle of compounding flavoring in case I want to buy it. I might just try juice concentrate first. "The cup" is a specific cup to try to teach kids to swallow pills. In my first post, I linked to an amazon page with several on it, then I realized the issue is not inability to swallow pills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeRae22 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Friend had a great suggestion, and it worked like a charm! Chocolate syrup! Who knew?? I let dd mix the contents of the pill in it, and she slurped it right up! Now if we could just see some results from the Mino..... Almost 48 hours now.

dcmom Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 It took us about 2 weeks to see concrete results... Hang in there. Bad news is at age 8 she can't stay on long term- for us it worked while on it, but did not maintain when off. At that point we did steroids, which helped longer term. Just an FYI for something to think about. Also- our doc recommended calcium supps AWAY from mino dosing- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayzoo Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ah, the ol' chocolate syrup. How could I forget to mention that one LOL. I bet you will have to keep an arsenal of options in your cupboard if your kiddo is anything like mine. Meds are not usually a problem here, but I home school her, and teaching methods almost MUST change daily, to every other day or they simply stop working . My kiddo is complicated when it comes to schooling since she has some developmental delays and autism added into the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeRae22 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) It took us about 2 weeks to see concrete results... Hang in there. Bad news is at age 8 she can't stay on long term- for us it worked while on it, but did not maintain when off. At that point we did steroids, which helped longer term. Just an FYI for something to think about. Also- our doc recommended calcium supps AWAY from mino dosing- Interesting that you mention that, because the person that pm'd me telling me about the great results she experienced regarding Mino and symptoms (eating being one of them) also said they didn't maintain after stopping abx. From my perspective though, it would be awesome to just have something work at this point!! I am concerned already about using Mino though.... She's been complaining of "not feeling good", has bumps on her cheeks (which if course she picks at, so they now look much worse than they would be) and obviously worried about teeth staining..... Sigh. But I'm glad to hear that it took you a few weeks to see improvement... (Not for your sake, but you know what I mean!) -- I keep hearing "48 hours" and it's so hard to wait longer when you hear people say things like that!!!
