What to do with a child who won't take medicines?

My little girl is now 14 months and has always hated taking medicines.
She screams and screams so much that if you actually get them into her mouth she chokes on them and vomits.
This weekend she has had tonsillitis and a high fever and we have really struggled to get any medicine down her so we've had no sleep and a really hard time keeping her temp down.
Any ideas anyone?
(She's very fussy with food and drink, we've tried putting medicine in it but she knew right away)
