I had that problem with both of my children when they were younger. My daughter likes when I put it in a little cup so she can drink it on her own, it make her feel like a big girl and sometimes she doesnt even realize it is medicine. With my son I layed him on the floor between my legs and put it in his mouth then blew softly in his face which makes them have to swallow, he didnt like it but there was no mess and he got all of his medicine. I would suggest trying the cup thing first, kids that age like to be independant and try to do things on their own!!!
