To @Aneta:
As a rule, it is not recommended to give antibiotics to the child with juices or other types of drinks, even if the child is reluctant to take the drug in its pure form
The child should drink the entire dose of the antibiotic in a short period of time, otherwise he will not take the full amount of the drug, which may reduce the effectiveness of the therapy. Dilution in a beverage may increase the drinking time and cause the child not to drink the entire dose.
A juice or other beverage can alter or interact with the antibiotic, affecting its absorption and effect. Your doctor will prescribe the medication in a specific form and dosage to ensure optimal effectiveness.
Giving the antibiotic in its pure form teaches the child to get used to the bitter or unpleasant tastes of the medications, which will make it easier to take the medication in the future. Masking your taste can delay this learning.
Instead, try giving the antibiotic in a bottle from which your child usually drinks milk or other liquid. You can also give the medicine in a syringe or spoon and then give your child their favorite treat or liquid to drink.
And can you do it with raspberry juice?

You can pour the appropriate dose of the antibiotic suspension Klacid into yogurt type "Ale Drinkny". However, please note that the child should drink the entire contents in a short time, otherwise he will not take the appropriate dose of antibiotic and antibiotic therapy will be ineffective.
