Sick son refuses to take medicine

Hi all parents, My son is sick with fever and cough. I have brought him to see the doctor but he refuses to take the medicine. He didn't swallow and will spit out all the medicine whenever I give it to him. Do you all have any suggestions on what I can do?

Giving medicine to a 3 month old is never easy so it’s to be a little forceful but with the right technique. Make sure he’s always sitting upright and never lying down. You can try giving the medicine with a strong flavoured syrup like chocolate, maple etc. If it’s a liquid medicine, you can use a syringe without the needle.
