My daughter has been given antibiotics for tonsilitis and is refusing to take them, she has a temperature and is now refusing calpol or nurofen. Iv tried bribery, con sealing it in juice and forcing her with a syringe which was not a very nice experience. Any tips would be great

At that age we had to lie dd down and pin her arms and squirt into her cheek. She's 5yo now and happy to take meds but for a while force was necessary.
