Learn how the Ezy Dose Kids Medi-Scope helps you measure and give liquid medicine accurately to your child, with step-by-step instructions and common mistakes to avoid.

Quick answer

Use the Ezy Dose Kids Medi-Scope to inspect your child's mouth and throat before giving liquid medicine, ensuring they can swallow safely and that the dose is taken correctly.

Why inspect before dosing

Before you measure or give any liquid medication, check your child's mouth and throat for sores, swelling, or leftover food. The Medi-Scope's built-in pen light and magnifying headpiece let you see clearly, so you can avoid triggering gagging or choking. This quick check also helps you confirm the medicine reaches the right spot.

How to use the Medi-Scope before giving liquid medicine

Step 1: Attach the mouth mirror and turn on the light: Click the mouth mirror onto the Medi-Scope handle. Press the button to turn on the built-in pen light. Have your child open their mouth wide. Common mistake: Forgetting to turn on the light. Without it, you may miss redness or swelling.
Step 2: Inspect the throat and cheeks: Gently insert the mouth mirror and angle it to see the back of the throat and inner cheeks. Look for any sores, inflammation, or obstructions. If you see swelling or sores, call your doctor before giving the dose.
Step 3: Check the nose and ears if needed: Swap the mouth mirror for the ear or nose speculum. Inspect for blockages or signs of infection that might affect swallowing or absorption. A blocked nose can make swallowing difficult; consider a different position or consult your pediatrician.
Step 4: Administer the liquid medication: After inspection, use a dosing syringe or cup to measure the exact amount. Have your child sit upright. Place the syringe tip between the cheek and gum, then slowly push the plunger. Never tilt the child's head back—this increases choking risk.
Step 5: Observe after the dose: Use the Medi-Scope's magnifying headpiece to watch your child's mouth for any leftover medicine or signs of spitting. Wipe the tools with a clean cloth. If medicine pools under the tongue, gently guide it to the cheek with a clean finger or syringe tip.
