Tracie, see if this helps
First, this is how I give Payton his medicine:
And if she has a problem keeping the medicine down, have ice water ready for her and see if you can get her to drink some immediately. Of course, if she'll eat a cracker or a piece of bread right away, it would help as well. Try doing this before she eats so that if she does upchuck, there won't be so much of a mess.
Good luck and let me know if this helps at all.

That was so nice of you to do this!
I tried it, and so far so good. She is not happy with me--but the pill is down.
Thanks for the help--it is greatly appreciated by all of us!!

No problemo!
Payton used to hold the pill in his mouth and then spit it out, but I never let him get away with that so he gave up and now he just accepts it. When he swallows it, as you can see in the video, he sticks his tongue out as part of the swallowing process. That's how I know it went down and then I let go of his face. They get over it.
