Getting your child to take their medicine

This week poor little Gracie has ended up with a urine infection, which meant antibiotics were in order. These need to be taken 3 times a day for a week.

Now we adults know that this is necessary to make your child better but how do you explain that to a toddler that doesn't want to take her medicine?? She has already made it quite clear she is not a fan of the flavour they have given her, even though I have tried to let her know that unfortunately we were not given a choice!!

Even though I have had four children I have never found the solution to getting them to take their medicine without them either complaining, fighting or refusing to take it.

Does anyone have any good tips on this subject??
