Poor wee Jack has tonsilitis, hes so miserable Does anyone have any ideas on getting him to have his medicine? It hurts him so much to swallow but he has to swallow to get his pain relief and ABs. I've been forcing the ABs down but it just ends up all over him. If anyone has any advice it would be muchly appreciated.
When Sienna had tonsilitis a few weeks ago the only way we would get her to take her meds was someone had to hold her upside down and the other person squirt it in her mouth or else it ended up everywhere! not the best way to do it but it worked

Also another thing we did with Andrew was tell him it will hurt at first but it will make him feel better really soon, and promise that he'll get something nice after the medicine had been taken.

Tried this and he ended up vomiting it back up
Tried reasoning with him bit no won't work.
Put it in chocolate milkshake which worked 3 times but now he is refusing again.
I'm quite concerned cos he isn't having the abs or paracetemol and has had a temp of around 39.5 all day. What can I do? I think I'll take him back to drs again tomorrow if hes not better and still refusing medicine.
