Adding the flavor in to the meds did not help.

Did you try something creamy/fatty? I'm thinking that applesauce is watery and the flavor of the meds won't get "lost" in it. Alternatively, if the antibiotic molecules get coated by the fats in ice cream or whatever, he might not taste them as much. Plus, his tongue will lose sensitivity, as someone else pointed out.

I'm speculating here (don't know which antibiotic you're using and if it could be coated by fats), but it might be worth a go if you haven't tried it already. Just make sure you aren't supposed to take the medication on an empty stomach.
