16 month old has tonsillitis - he usually takes calpol or ibuprophen with no problems, but he's refusing to have his antibiotics. I think about 1ml of the last 5ml dose went down him. The rest went over his pyjamas, my pyjamas, the carpet...
If I put the syringe too far back I'll drown him, and anywhere further forward he just spits it out. I held his mouth shut for nearly a minute while he screeched and kicked and wriggled and DH held him down, and he waited it out until I thought he must have swallowed it then out it all came.He actually hit his head earlier running away when he saw me getting the box out .
What the hell do I do?!
