I never chewed the pred or hydro ...yuck, bitter, ick...but I just always produce salvia in my mouth, drop the little med to the back of my throat and with one gulp it goes right down.

I try to take it with food but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way.  I guess the best way to take it would be to put it in the back of your mouth and wash it down with a swig of milk. In my 20’s when I was out clubbing , I would take the med with a gulp of rum and coke. Some how doing that seems wrong now. (hehe) With age comes wisdom ?  

I consider taking the hydro in the same vain as I would blinking my eyes, It’s so ingrained that it’s just a reflex. My Mom would always just give it to me and I have what I would call an instinct about this stuff (smile) Hydrocortisone = survival and that was it - case closed.

I was thinking about this post today as I was working and how do you get a kid to take this stuff ? I just don’t know but we have to take it everyday and it’s not like it’s going to change. I also have to take these calcium supplements and I hate that because they are so big but if I don’t take them the osteoprosis due to the cortisone is a worse option.

I thought taking the med and then following it with a Tic Tac was very cool of the little dude! Bummer about the tooth decay :(

Good Luck!
