Banana flavoured antibiotics, the worst!

My son currently has a chest infection and mixed with asthma he's been off school suffering quite badly, he was prescribed the dreaded yellow medicine which made him vomit because he hates the taste so much, called the drs and got him switched to a different one, I've gone to pick it up and it's the same flavour!! Do drs not do any other flavour of antibiotics!? I'm dreading having to give it to him for 5 days, he'll happily take calpol why do they not have that flavour for prescribed medications? 😭

I remember a banana flavoured medicine when we were kids. We called it ‘monkey sick’.
