He has infected chicken pox. Supposed to have 4x 5ml per day, on an empty stomach. If I get one dose into him it will be a miracle, never mind 4 at specified time periods....

He will not have it. Just got myself in a right state with him screaming, retching, etc.

Wtaf do I do?

My DD has been on it since birth - now she is getting older, she objects far more! We shotgun it with something that she likes to force her to swallow - usually something milky /sweet. Her medical team have said that it is fine to do so even though it says that it should be on an empty stomach - better to get it into them.
