"Give (one) a dose/taste of (one's) own medicine" = Cho ai uống liều thuốc của chính họ cho -> Dùng cách tương tự của họ đã đối xử với mình để đáp trả lại họ nên thành ngữ này nghĩa là (gậy ông đập lưng ông).

Ví dụ
His former girlfriend Candace (Ambyr Childers) has found him - as we saw in the final episode of season one - and plans to finally give him a dose of his own medicine.

Sheilah then strongly backed Bebe Cool’s post as she took to the Gagamel chief’s comment section and urged him to educate his wife’s critics. Her comment only added fuel to the fire as fans were quick to give her a dose of her own medicine.

You tend to blow hot and cold in emotional relationships, enthusing one minute, retreating behind your shell the next. If you start behaving like this now, take care, otherwise someone may give you a dose of your own medicine next week! But if you can dish it out, you should be ready to take it!
