Objectives Children’s unique taste bud often gives them difficult time to take oriental medicines. To overcome, survey was conducted focusing on useful and practical tips on how to take them. Methods The survey was carried out by posting mail questionnaire. Target clinics for the survey were selected by the internet search engine, Google, Daum, and Naver, and typing in "oriental treatment + pediatrics", "pediatrics + oriental medicine", "pediatric oriental clinic". Thus 24 clinics were searched, which were further narrowed down to the specialized pediatric oriental clinics located in Busan, Kimhae, and Ulsan. Also 14 University Oriental Hospitals were added and total of 38 inquiry leaflets were eventually distributed for this survey. Results If children refuse to take the medicine, mixture with sweeteners can be prescribed for them. Among them, oligosaccharide is the most recommended followed by sugar and honey. To avoid rejection to medication, use of different formulation, such as distillation medicine, soft X-Section, granulated medicine, and character printing on a packing can be used. Conclusions The most effective method is to investigate the mixture first, and then the alternative formulations. Key words : children, oriental medicine, guides to take oriental medicine
