giving medicine problem

My daughter has thrush. So she has to take the meds four times a day and I have to sterilize bottle nipples and pacifiers every night. Well it is hard to give her the medicine without it touching her tongue...I tried using a spoon as a tongue depressor type of thing...but it didnt really work because she just closed her mouth on it. So how do I give her the meds without contaminating the dropper...is there a way to sterilize the dropper?? Any ideas?

Re: giving medicine problem
They make medicine dispensers that are pacifiers and one that has a bottle nipple on it. I got mine at Walgreens for $4 but I've seen them at Walmart too. It would prevent you from contaminating everything and it would be easy to clean.
Will she take a pacifier? I believe there are medicine pacifiers out there. You fill it with the medicine, she takes it via the pacifier and then you can sterilize that.
