MY eldest is fine with medicine! Never had a problem! My youngest... oh my goodness he's a shocker... it's not very pleasant, but the only way I can get it into him most times with my two arms - which makes it even harder lol - is to literally pin arms and legs down, slightly recline him, put in a little bit and then rub his throat downwards to help entice the swallowing action. I hate doing it, but unfortunately it's about the only way he'll swallow it You know he's really really sick when he takes it without a fight!
