Remember the days when medicine was our sworn nemesis as kids? We’ve all been there, cringing at the thought of that unpleasant taste. I think all parents can agree that convincing a toddler to take medicine can be a tough sell.
In a recent TikTok video by @fourhamka, the parents were hilariously seen struggling to give medicine to their toddler. The little troublemaker went all out just to avoid taking it.
Speaking exclusively to WORLD OF BUZZ, the parents revealed that baby Ayiel had recently been discharged from Sungai Buloh Hospital after battling croup illness. The doctor’s orders were crystal clear, the toddler needed to complete a course of antibiotics.
However, any parents can relate that when it comes to getting your kids to eat medicine, it can be a challenge. They also shared that taking medicine is basically toddler’s least favorite thing to do.
The toddler would bolt every chance he could get.
“Ayiel would always refuse to eat his medicine. Whenever we try to get him to eat the meds, he would either run or try to hide.”
The adorable video struck a chord with Malaysians, who flooded the comments section with their own struggles with getting kids to take medicine.
“My kid is the same way! Whenever I take out the syringe he’ll start crying.”
“I experience the same thing with my toddler. It felt like I was going to war.”
“My child used to be like this. Whenever I tried to get him to take medicine, he would run away.”
