I had a series of years when this was an experience my son and I had to
live through.
He unfortunately inherited my predisposition to upper respiratory
complaints (in spite of his having breastfed a GOOD LONG TIME!). This
meant he often ended up having to take some kind of medication or other.
When he disagreed, I simply told him we would rinse out his mouth right
after he swallowed the vile stuff. Perhaps he was an easy child, but I
rightly concluded that what he objected to was the TASTE. So, we made a
game of it. "How fast can you swallow it?" and there I would be with a
glass of clean water to help him WASH it down. Worked every time. As I
recall, he was ages 4 through about 11 when this was necessary. AFter
that, he "took it like a man," he once told me! (ha!)
Some men I know took medicine with far more complaints, but that is another
story... :-D
