Omeprazole

My 13 week old son screams every night when we give him his Omeprazole. We syringe a little bit at a time at the side of his cheek. He cries, screams and spits it out. He makes himself gag and refuses to swallow it. He's been on it for a couple of months and reacts the same every night. Once we've syringed the last of it, he cries/ screams himself to sleep.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Have you tried giving it in a bottle teat? We give it in a size 2 teat and he gulps it down no problem, but if we syringe it he screams
