Q: Can we give antibiotic to a three years old child in his feeding bottle with the milk?
A:Though there should not be any problem, but it would change the taste of the whole milk and the child may develop aversion. Anyway such a big child should not be drinking milk with a bottle now. You could mix the medication in a small amount of milk and give it separately.
