Sim children get sick and stay sick. The game lets them order medicine but they can't take it till they're a teen or older. So then the child stays sick and constantly infects their entire household. 

I've had Sim children drink orange juice and get the moodlet that they've successfully combated their cold, only for them to continue to show signs of a cold and continue to get other Sims sick. 

To cure my kids, I have to age my Child Sim to a teen, have them take the medicine as a teen, and then age them back down to a child. That's the only way to cure sick kids. But doing this erases all children skills that they earned as a child/toddler. So then you have to start over with child skills. 

It makes no sense, how can kids order medicine and have it appear in their inventory, but they can't take it? How are we supposed to cure sick Sim kids then? 

Sim children should be able to take medicine when they're sick. If you're worried about underage kids taking medicine then have it where parents/caregivers administer the dosage to their kids, just like in real life. Either that or make it so Sim children and younger don't get sick if the game won't let you cure them.
