[0029] With such arrangement, when the user feeds a child solid or semi-solid and semi-liquid medicine, the user can hold the medicine feeding tube 1, directly use the medicine feeding spoon 2 to scoop up the medicine, and then feed the medicine into the child's mouth through the medicine feeding spoon 2. When the user needs to feed the child liquid medicine, the infusion through hole 6 is located below the liquid surface, and then the push rod 4 is started to be pulled upward to drive the rubber stopper 5 to move, thereby forming a negative pressure inside the medicine feeding tube 1. The medicine liquid is stored in the medicine feeding tube 1 through the infusion through hole 6, and then the push rod 4 is pushed to allow the medicine liquid in the medicine feeding tube 1 to flow into the child's mouth along the infusion through hole 6, thereby ensuring that the medicine liquid will not flow out of the medicine feeding spoon 2 due to shaking.

[0030] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The medicine feeding tube 1 is provided with a placement cavity 7 , and the placement cavity 7 is filled with a heat-insulating material 8 .

[0031] With such a configuration, the thermal insulation material 8 in the medicine feeding tube 1 can maintain the temperature of the medicine liquid, prevent the medicine from being affected by temperature changes in the efficacy or taste, and improve the child's medication experience. The thermal insulation material 8 includes but is not limited to aerogel, polyurethane foam, silicone sponge, and polyethylene foam. Aerogel is a lightweight nanoporous material with extremely low thermal conductivity and is one of the materials with the best known thermal insulation properties. Polyurethane foam has good thermal insulation properties and mechanical strength, is low in cost, easy to process, and has good thermal insulation properties. Silicone sponge is soft and resistant to high temperatures, has certain thermal insulation properties, and is safe, non-toxic, resistant to high temperatures, and easy to clean.
