Hi! My toddler is refusing to take antibiotics - I've tried everything and am really stuck. We obviously started off talking about why it was important to take them, how when he plays doctors he gives his toys a bandage etc and this is the same, I've tried to hide it in food but he's not hungry - he's even turned down chocolate ice cream, I tried the doing it sort of by force as a last resort but he just spat it back out. I tried giving him a dose in a spoon during the night where he couldn't see that it was the yuk medicine and not the yummy calpol and five mins later it was all over the bedding...
I've asked the doctor if there is another one he can prescribe which maybe tastes better and he said this one - the banana amoxicillin is the only one that tastes ok.
Does anyone have any tips? Im literally desperate!
