Feed Medicine

My 21mths LO is sick but I have difficulty to feed her medicine, she's picky eater & she will spills out whatever from the mouth if that thing is not her usual food/drink. Tried to mix into yogurt or fav juice, but she knew it & refused to take. Desperate & please help!

I currently have my 4 year old that hates medicine. No choice but keep persuading her in order to get better. My last option is to hold her hand and feet, pinch her nose and use syringe to give her med. Most time she will swallow the liquid. She might be crying but I did the same with mixing in milk etc but nah she will throw it out. I dont say it is torturing or violence 😅 But you have no choice because you want them to be better.

my 7 months LO always refuses medicine both in form or powder or syrup. the trick is to hold his/ her head up, put the spoon in on the side of the mouth and let him/ her swallow little by little. we tried mixing with milk but he is just too smart to refuse.
