Do you have to get a prescription for the syringes?
My daughter is not on any nebs or anything at the moment, apart from oral antibiotics that we give her via syringe.
I didn't realise that pseudo can grow in these things, as one of the mums mentioned. Quiet scary......
I have never realy been to predantic about sterilisation, not even when she was a baby. I stopped sterilising her baby bottles at about 10 months.
I have never sterilised anything of hers since, not that i am careless i just didnt want to over do it and wanted to treat her like i would all my kids.
That being said, i am clean freak when it comes to making sure her hands are always clean and sanitized. As well as the environment she lives and plays in.
Now i am begining to wonder that maybe i should sterilise her medicine syringes.
Although, i feel as though i have done the right thing for her as she has never grown any sort of bugs and has not had a hospital addmission as yet.
I guess there is not right and wrong, you do what you feel is working best for you and your child.
Edited to add: as far as getting things dry, i agree with boiling them hard for 5 mins andputting them straight out to dry. When they are that hot they dry realy fast.
Another idea would be to turn your oven on low and let them dry there for about half an hour. Just make sure not to melt them and not to put it in, if it contains rubber seals an such.

Do you have to get a prescription for the syringes?</end quote></div>
I used to ask the clinic or pharmacy for extras, but then just ordered a bunch online. Last summer after dealing with about 3-4 different pink meds, I contacted Baza and they gave me a link for a catalog, so I ordered a hundred amber 5cc syringes and in the past I've ordered a few different sizes from other places. I also asked the catalog company for some sample dispenser tops for the medicine bottles 'cuz the zithromax was soooo sticky and I was having to pour the med into a medicine cup to extract it. Now I just stick the end of the syringe into the handy cap and it's a dream to extract. No mess, no waste -- I once dumped an entire bottle of keflex onto the kitchen counter while vacationing in Mexico. Argh!
Oh and the reason I didn't have my pharmacy order the syringes for me, was because they couldn't get the ones I liked. Sometimes the ones they provided me would get stuck or wouldn't operate smoothly and I'd end up shooting meds across the room or in DS's hair and on his face.

I think the way I think about it is
my two year old is constantly touching dirty things and putting his hands in his mouth etc. So I just wash his oral syringes with hot soapy water, shake them and then put then to dry on a paper towel.
However, anything that might go into his lungs is a totally different situation. I wash the nebs in hot soapy water and boil for 10 min. Our clinic say 10 mins. not 5. Then vigorous shake, lay out to dry etc.
of course using a fresh syringe every time sounds reasonable too.
I can't wait until he stops sticking his hands in his mouth though!!!
