Answers:

~according to mary poppins a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down~
but really um you could drink a lot a water after doing so to get rid of the taste or hold your nose



It may be a little corny, giving my answer based on a song but a sizable dose of sugar (particularly when taking med's that are bitter) does help it go down.

Alternatively, the area of the tongue that 'tastes' bitterness is in the back area of the tongue, if you try using a straw held deeply enough in the mouth to pass the taste buds, it should be easier to take.

Local honey helps with allergies and its natural. Use a natural allergy med as the non-natural is bad for you. If you have to take non-natural add sugar, or water. Or put it in some chocolate.



This is alternative medicine. I only take natural remedies. There is cold syrup made with natural ingeredients just email me if you need more info. Otherwise eat a tsp of honey first then drink water after the syrup.



DONT FCK WITH MEDICINE.DONT FCK WITH things that can kill you.ask for a different medicine if you dont like tht one.just dont modify drugs.



things go better with coke and some mucs relief from wolly wall bangers
and alot of luv in from the honey
