I don't like to administer meeds to my dcks but I will if I need to. I have the parents fill out a detailed medication form no matter what medication it's for. I don't use baby oragel or baby ambesol be use it just makes teething babies that much madder in my experience! I keep liquid benedryl here in case of allergic reactions that have to be addressed right away. I have infants ibuprofen drops and infants acetaminophen drops as well as children's ibuprofen and acetaminophen that I have on hand. Since I rarely have to use them, I don't mind providing them. It's less of a hassle for me.

With prescription medications, I will do antibiotics only if it's prescribed to take 3 or 4 times a day. I won't do neb treatments but I don't mind inhalers (with spacers). I don't have any kids with an epi-pen right now. I don't mind eye drops unless I have to fight with a child to get them in. Let the parents deal with that fight!
