When you buy toddler medicine, doesn't it come with a syringe? I wouldn't rely on a separate/reusable syringe for this-- lots of those meds are sugary/sticky and tough to clean out perfectly, and in little kids having precise dosing is really important. Droppers are not precise enough and neither are the large 60cc types of syringes for small volumes. Please stick with what comes with the med or ask the pharmacy for replacements.
