My daughter wont take medicine
Since she was a tiny baby she's hated Calpol. No matter if we use a different brand or flavour, whether we use a syringe or spoon, Ive even tried using her own spoon. We've had to essentially pin her down to have some and she gets so worked up about it she pukes right after so we stopped doing that. We used to put it in her bedtime milk but she caught on quick and she stopped having milk at bed a while ago now. The sight of mention or medicine and she's throwing a fit and it takes ages to calm her down. She has a really bad cough right now that only comes out at night time and when she gets worked up she struggles to breathe. I'm so lost and don't know what to do

Mine is the same!! I don’t even try anymore. The Calpol plug in helps, and they’re now old enough for Vicks. And propping upright with a pillow a bit more for the cough.
For a while it worked mixing it with fresh squeezed orange juice but she’s cottoned onto that now.
