Problem w/Taking Medicine

Sheila92003

My 7 year old DS has had a bad cough since yesterday so my DH gave him some cough medicine this morning, which made him throw up right after he gave it to him. A couple of months ago this happened too, but I gave him one of those medicated tongue strips.  As soon as I put it on his tongue, he threw up.  Does this happen to any of your children?  If it does, do you have any strategies for giving him/her medicine successfully?   Thank you in advance.  Have a good week!
