Let’s face it, nobody likes getting injections or having blood taken. It’s just one of those necessary evils, and for some, more evil than for others. When I first developed KidKupz, I encountered a few moms who told me that their kids were able to take liquid medications without too much trouble, but even those moms knew that KidKupz could really seal the deal. When it comes to shots and needles, I think it’s safe to say that even kids and adults who handle it well could benefit from a tip on how to ease the pain.
I recently read about something referred to as the “cough trick.” The theory is that if patients cough once just before and then once during a shot, the pain or discomfort will be reduced. I know, I know, you’re wondering where in the heck this blog post was during the height of the H1N1 virus. Read more and see if this can work for you or your child. Who knows, maybe even just the power of suggestion will do the trick.
