Get Your Child to Take His Medicine

I remember when my son contracted pneumonia at 2 years old. That was one of the worst ordeals I have ever been through. On top of general worry, there was the need to get medicine into him every 2 hours, and feeling as yucky as he did, he was not a very willing participant. Battling the will of a stubborn 2 year old is never easy on the best of days. Thank heavens for this tip from Parents2parent.com:
Break them and crush them or indeed take the beads out of the capsule and put it in syrup, honey , yoghurt, nutella or any other thing your child thinks is yummy and give small amounts at a time. Remember when you do this you may affect the strength of the medication but at least you get it in. You might need to strike a deal to get it in.

I usually use the peanut butter with crushed pills trick. But after about 2 times, they know it’s coming!!!
