My son is 5 years old and autistic. He's been given some flucloxacilin which tastes very strong and nasty. He hates the taste and now refuses to take it. Her dosent understand bribes or that as soon as he has it he can have a drink to get rid of the taste. Any ideas as to how I could successfully give my son this medicine.Thanks!Thanks its that strong that even putting it in his drinks wont disguise the tasteHe's got impetigoThanks everyone for your advice. I'll give the drinks 1 another go. Maybe make the drink slighty stronger not too much mind. Wish me luck and I'll choose best answer a bit later

would mixing it in with a drink like orange juice or water work? like to dilute the taste of the medicine?hmm how about you pretending to take the medicine as well like to say im taking it as well so you have to.

Have you tried slipping it into a food he likes?

Why don't you try mixing it into his food, or into his drink?
