: My son was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome
: when he was only 17 months old. The only
: choice we had at the time was to give him
: liquid prednisone. He doesn't like the
: taste, but has something to eat in between
: doses. He will not swallow the pills even
: though he is now 6 and can swallow them. He
: says they taste very bitter, even worse than
: the liquid. We even did the flavouring of
: the liquid pred and he would not take it. I
: think he was so used to the taste of the
: regular liquid as he has had it for many
: years now. It is certainly a challenge to
: get him to take his medicine. The best thing
: that has worked for us is he picks something
: that he likes to eat. He has a small bite of
: that in between doses to help with the
: taste. Hope that helps.

: My 21 month old daughter was diagnosed on

: prednisolone tonight (even flavored grape)
: and it is really nasty tasting stuff. I
: think that she could swallow a pill if it
: truly is the size of a mini M&M as mentioned
: on this site. Any tips for dosing or for
: dealing with MCNS and steriods in this age
: group? We're doing pretty good so far - I'm
: just anxious to see my little girls normal
: little face again.
