My DS 2.5 refuses to take any medicine. Back in Jauary he was really poorly with tonsilitis and the doctor perscribed antibiotics. They tasted HORRENDOUS and he refused to take them (as would I if they had been perscribed for me!) However, we persisted and forced them down.

Now he won't take any medicine at all. He was great before the tinsilitis and would often ask for medicine when he didn't need it. At the momnet he has a really bad cough and cold which is keepng him up at night. I have tried everything to het him to take some medicine but to no avail. I don't want to force feed him any other ideas! I am at my whits end!!

I find bribing with a lolly helps. Small sip of calpol, sook on lolly, small sip of calpol, sook on lolly... it may take a while but lots of parise and persistance!
