Posting here for traffic as am desperate
Dd is 3.5, been to doctors today as she was wheezy/coughing and generally unwell, started over the weekend with a cold.
Doctor said she has a nasty chest infection and prescribed amoxicillin. I told him that we've had terrible trouble in the past, getting dd to take this.
He said that is what she needs and I got it from chemist.
As predicted, dd was hysterical when she saw it, I tried to reason with her as she understands and talks very well, but no getting through.
So I put her on my knee and tried to get it in her mouth via a syringe which we use for calpol etc but she spat most of it out.
Tried hiding it in a yoghurt just now and she had 1 spoon and refused to eat it.
She is also refusing to drink anything unless I hover over her and make sure she does. Normally loves her juice and water so getting worried.
Any tips please?
Thanks if you've got this far:)
