My son likes to drink milk very much. During this time, if I have a cold, I will use milk to give him medicine. Is this correct?

    This approach is extremely wrong. Milk can significantly affect the rate of absorption of drugs by the human body, so that the concentration of drugs in the blood is significantly lower than that of non-milk patients taking the same time. Taking medicine with milk also makes it easy for the drug to form a covering film, so that the mineral ions such as calcium and magnesium in the milk react chemically with the drug to form a water-insoluble substance, which not only reduces the efficacy of the drug, but may also cause harm to the body. Therefore, it is not possible to take medicine with milk.
