    3 year old & pills?

    So I didnt realize that the medication the doctor gave me for my 3 year old was a pill. It says swallow whole... Any ideas on getting it into him?

    I remember as kids we used to have it in a spoon full of honey.

    It's about 1/2 -2/3 the size of a panadol. Tonight I gave it to him with a drink but he bit it in half and your meant to swallow whole. He didn't like the taste will try with a spoon of yoghurt or something tomorrow
