I need help hiding liquid medicine

I never had a problem giving my kids medicine. I would bribe them if I had to with a cookie or ice cream. Have you tried hiding it in Kool-Aid? Or bribing him with a treat? Maybe offer to play a game with him or see who can build the highest tower with Lego blocks.

I use to give my nephew a popsicle..after he sucked on it for a few minutes his tongue would be cold enough hi taste buds were numb and he couldn't taste it. After he swallowed the medicine he got to finish the popsicle. It worked pretty well on several of the other kids too.

I would try it in some chocolate or strawberry milk. Something like that might mask the taste of the medicine better. I would think that in orange juice it would taste pretty awful.

I went through this with my daughter when she was younger. What a nightmare we had trying to get her to take her medicine. We tried everything. I also would "hide" it in juice. Kids are too smart for that. You can take the medicine to the pharmacist and they can put a colored flavoring in it for you. I heard that they have all sorts of flavorings to add to children's medicines if you want them too. You could try to reward her with something for after she takes the medicine. Something that she never gets to have or rarely is allowed to have. Maybe with a sip of soda (this worked for my son) or some kind of prize like stickers, M&M's, etc. With my daughter though, nothing worked. We used to have to hold her arms down tightly and pry her mouth open and then squirt the medicine with a medicine dropper along the inside of her mouth on the side. It was one of the most stressful times we had to go through. Thankfully she eventually grew out of that crazy stage.

try mixing it with peanut butter and put it on a spoon and give it to him. It works for my little one.

I actually have the exact opposite problem with my children. When they are on antibiotics it takes everything that I have to keep them from wanting to drink the entire bottle of antibiotic. However, cough syrup and antihistamine don't exactly work out as well for them. With those types of medication I typically have to tell them to hold their noses and drink it down really fast. Then, I will reward them with a cup of their favorite kind of drink.
