In some cases you could use the adverbial {loQ}.
On the PK tape, there is the phrase:
{Ho'Du'lIjDaq to'baj 'uSHom lughoDlu'bogh tu'lu'} which is translated as,
"You have some stuffed tobaj leg in your teeth."

"a little bit of".
So you could probably say {HerghHom vItlhutlhpu'} (I have drank some
medicine.)
