What do you do to get bad medicine taste out of your mouth?

This is actually a pretty common issue. No one likes the taste of medicine!Before IngestionBefore people take the medicine, some people like to have a glass of juice or another beverage or food prepared so they can wash it down quickly, and only experience the horrid medicine taste for a few seconds. During IngestionIt is a common belief that pinching your nose closed will make the medicine's taste less strong, however, I have had no luck with that method, so I usually try to swallow it as quickly as possible to avoid contact with as many taste buds as I can. After IngestionOn account of the famous line "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down" from the popular movie Mary Poppins, many people swallow a spoonful of sugar to "help the medicine go down" and eradicate the taste. Besides the sugar, people will drink or eat whatever they may have prepared to get the taste out of their mouth. Recap:Have a drink or meal prepared in advance to quickly get the taste out of your mouthSwallow the medicine quickly to avoid contact with as much of your mouth as possibleEat or drink something and swish it around your mouth to get rid of the taste.


What made the medicine go down in the movie Mary Poppins?

Mary Poppins is the title and the lead character. the song is Spoon ful of sugar. As far as I know there were no other Poppins movies though the end was open in the sense that would allow this- no lead characters dying off, unlike say Mr. Roberts.- so a sequel could have been made.

The best times to check your blood sugar are before meals and at bedtime. Your blood sugar meter may have computer software to help you track your blood sugar level.
