Summary
Study of the palatability and acceptability of dexamethasone oral tablets crushed and placed
in apple sauce or pudding in comparison with the IV solution mixed with sugar syrup and given
orally. It is hypothesized that dexamethasone tablets crushed and administered in apple sauce
or pudding will be more palatable and acceptable for pediatric patients receiving
dexamethasone for an acute asthma exacerbation or croup.
