IMO you are being way too nice about it. Just hold her down, stick a med dropper in there, dump it all, and hold her mouth shut.

She will be scored for like 3 seconds and mad at you for like 5. Then you just say "you have to take your medicine no matter how bad it tastes"

Done deal. 30 seconds start to finish. She won't be traumatized or hate you if you're scared about that.

this is exactly what I have been doing

the problem is that my daughter has this thing when she gets really upset, she vomits

so when I hold her down and force her to take it, she obviously gets really upset and half the time ends up throwing it all up 10 seconds later
