• Prepare them beforehand by getting them familiar
  with the concept of hospitals and doctors.

  hospital fixed so that the child can get familiar
  with the surroundings.
• Children specialists are usually very good and
  soft with kids. Help your child open up to them.
• Invent a game for your child to cope with the
  schedule of taking medicines.
