How has a tasty-ish steroid not been invented? My niece got a poison ivy rash all over her body. Her face is covered, she has splotches on her arms and legs. She has it bad.

They gave her steroids for it but the liquid for of it is disgusting. She refuses to drink it and when we mixed it in with some juice, she threw it up. So my sister is taking her back to urgent care to see if they'll give her a shot and maybe pills or something.

They do have injections. Since I can't swallow pills, if I need a steroid that's how they often do it for me.

I've honestly never heard of liquid steroids before, I don't think that's a common way of giving it at all. I've been prescribed steroids many, many times and it's always been either in the form of a topical cream or as pills.

Things that get prescribed as pills to adults often have a liquid version for kids. Speaking as someone who will remember the awful, awful taste of liquid amoxicillin until I die, more doctors should trust children to swallow pills.

The pills also taste horrible. They can give her a shot but they won't do that unless it's severe enough because of the side-effects.

depending on how old the kid is they can absolutely swallow pills without tasting them.

And even if you do taste them, it's way easier to get the taste out of your mouth with a glass of water than it is with a liquid.
