Is it a liquid or tablets or casuals?

Does she like fruity yogurt? I had to hide crushed tablets or calpol in the little fromage frais pots to give DD ....

She could detect the tiniest amount - took ages to give it, little spoon at a time

If you really can't get her to have it you might have to ask for it in another form?

(Do they still do the 'banana' medicine?)
