How can I make Paracetamol liquid more palatable for DD?

[HuwEdwards]

She has tonsillitis and has severe throat pain and been prescribed this. She literally gags when I give her a dose.

Can I put it in some squash?

do you mean calpol?

tescos cherry flavoured one and orange ibuprofen are the ones my kids like

they hate calpol

sorry, am sleep-deprived I actally mean Penicillin liquid!

can you bribe her with something?

Sweets worked this morning, but we still had tears and gagging...

i get a cup of strong made up squash ready handy, and they have sips when taking the medicine. its foul stuff.

misdee I do have a drink ready so she can wash it down, but it's just she finds it so awful to even swallow the stuff in the first place. Am dreading having to go through it all - in about 20mins

its horrible. i user a syrienge, and now dd1 is older she does it herself with me watching her, and takes as much as she can handle then a drink, then more etc etc.
