I have had the night to think about the responses I got here. If I force the pill down his throat he chokes, throws up and there will be no way to give this to him again. I tried forcing him to eat a spoonful of ice cream with the granules last night, and he choked and spit it all out. This is surely not helpful. I told him if he takes it he can have a piece of candy, he said he didn't want any candy. If I threaten to take something away that is also counter productive. Then he associates the medicine with something bad. Tonight I am going to see if my daughter will help me, somehow. If this fails, tomorrow I am calling the doctor.
