DD2 (14 months) has an ear infection and after 2 days of giving her Panadol and Nurofen we have now got antibiotics. The problem is she won't take any of it anymore She screams as soon as she sees the bottles. I have tried everything I can think of, a little cup, a dropper, a syringe, I have even tried putting it in her bottle of milk and she could taste it and wouldn't drink it.

The last few days have been an absolute nightmare anway, with her climbing up on me then hitting me till I put her down then crying to be picked up again. Last night she would only sleep for 10 mins max between 10 and midnight and got up at 5 and I am so tired now. I don't know what to do about getting her her medicine.

The last few times I have had to hold her down and force it in but she spits most of it out and I really hate holding her down - it's making her hate it even more.

Does anyone have any good tips? We got the antibiotics today and we have a weeks worth and I just can't face doing this 3 times a day for a week - plus all the panadol

TIA
