We have this problem with my 2 year old. We sat with her for 45 mins one night and made her have her medicine (panadol, 39.1 temp !!). She did take it with bribery of a marshmellow.

I would get him to try the dimeapp too - the purple one is a nice blackcurrant taste.

How is he with Panadol? We bought panadol suppositorys' the other day for my 9 month old....i had the lovely task of 'inserting' . Its awful, but works faster, and doesnt seem to effect them as much. My mum suggested doing it in her sleep, which worked. She just thought i was changing her bottom.

I dont know if this has helped...
