How to use correctly (procedure)

Using suppositories requires certain skills from parents. If the child is very small, it is advisable that someone close to him distract him during the procedure.

If you can already negotiate with the baby, you need to explain to him that such treatment replaces painful injections and bitter pills, so you need to be patient just a little.

The suppositories are inserted into the emptied intestines ; they should first be warmed to room temperature. This can be done very quickly by placing them in a protective package in warm water. Sometimes it is enough to warm the candles in your palms.

If the child is an infant, the procedure should be as follows:

• the baby is placed on his back;
• legs are pressed to the tummy;
• lubricate the anus with baby cream or Vaseline;
• spread the buttocks with the left hand;
• insert the candle with the right hand;
• squeeze the buttocks with your hand for at least a couple of minutes to keep the suppository inside.

Here's how to do the procedure with an older child:

• put it on the left side;
• lubricate the anus with Vaseline;
• insert a suppository and hold the buttocks with your hand for a while.

It is important that children do not make sudden movements for half an hour so that the medicine has time to work. If a bowel movement occurs during the administration of the suppository, the procedure should be repeated.

If this happened 10 minutes after the suppository was introduced, repetition will not be required, since all the components of the drug have already been absorbed into the intestines by this time. More details about how to properly light candles for small children and teenagers are described in a separate article.
