• Description:
  Spoons are for Soup
  
  • Do not use household spoons to give medicines.
  
  • Spoons come in all shapes and sizes. Using a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon can mean 3 times too much medicine for your child.
  
  Milliliters (mL) are for Medicine
  
  • Use the oral syringe or dosing cup that comes with your liquid medicine to make sure your child gets the right amount.
  
  • Ask your pharmacist if you don't have one.
