I am encouraged to hear that other people fight this battle besides us. Both our kids fight any kind of medicine tooth and nail. Even the "good" tasting stuff. I don't have any great advice. We've used 2 techniques - telling them in a very serious voice that we may be in the ER if they don't take it and bribing (after you take this medicine you can have or do X). My DS8 literally will throw up antibiotics. Not pretty.
Good luck - here's to a fast round of antibiotics. I always feel like celebrating when we get done with a round. It's non-stop stress the entire time they're taking some.
Edited to say - sorry, I didn't know your child was so young. I did have to use the pin down method in a number of circumstances when we had to get it done NOW. Or giving them a little treat to have with the medicine. Ugh - so sorry you're fighting this battle. That's the worst!
