| It is a good idea for you to help to give your child's medicine in hospital. It may make medicine taking easier if your child needs to continue treatment at home. Many children don't like taking any sort of medicine. Before giving any medication that has not been ordered by your child's Consultant Oncologist, check with your child's team whether it is ok to give the medication. Never give aspirin or drugs that contain aspirin. For more information regarding medications please refer to The Information Book Edition 2.1, Section 3:13. |
