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
