this is a great question and i'm glad you asked it. not all medications are effective if dissolved in a liquid. i'd suggest you check with the child's doctor or pharmacist to learn if this technique is appropriate with the medication in question. meanwhile i'd recommend dissolving the medication in the smallest amount of liquid possible and having the child drink it all at once. for example if you could dissolve the medication in an ounce or two of cola you could reward her with the remainder of the can after she drinks the portion containing the medicine. dissolving the medication in a small amount of fluid will create a higher concentration of it in the mixture so that when she takes it she'll get something close to the full dose. i hope this helps!
if you disolved medication in diet coke do you have to ingest it in a certain amount of time for it to be effective? . i overlook the care of a child with a seizure disorder she does not like to take her medication so we dissolve it in diet coke the question has been asked if this affects the effectiveness of the medication.
