Giving medicine

18–24 Months

My son (19mo) has an ear infection and got antibiotics. But I cannot for the life of me get him to take it. I’ve tried mixing it with applesauce or a small amount of juice. I’ve also tried just shooting the syringe to the corner of his mouth but he just spits it back out 🫠

If anyone can give me some tips to get my son to take his medicine (amoxicillin) I’d greatly appreciate it.
