Honestly it’s absolutely vile, most adults would struggle to take it, why wouldn’t they try to make it a little bit more palatable?

we’ve just endured a horrific time with our 3 year old, had to resort to wrapping her in a towel and just getting it in her mouth. Horrible but necessary, thank god it’s only twice a day.

My children used to refuse calpol violently. I used to mix it into cherryade. Would that be an option or can't it be mixed with something?

Flucloxacillin is hands down the worst. Ds2 was on it every other week when younger and the only solution was the "pin them down, squirt it in and shove a chocolate button or 3 in afterwards" technique. I tried it once to see what the fuss was about and was gagging with just a tiny bit.

Sympathies on the struggles, hope the course is over soon!
