Just hold her down, stick a med dropper in there, dump it all, and hold her mouth shut.
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

Maybe call the dr and ask for a different antibiotic? If she's not keeping it down, it's probably not working like it should anyway.

Can you bribe her with stickers?
We will do sticker charts at work sometimes. Each time they take it, sticker on chart. So many stickers equals a trip to our toy closet to pick out a small prize.
If you are doing the syringe....put in side of the mouth like others said. Straight in and to the back of mouth will just make her gag and throw up. Massage her throat after to make her swallow.
Or....try giving small amount of med, then sip of juice. Repeat until med given.

Ahh well that's a whole other problem. In that case, you have to find a decent way.

That's a problem. All the suggestions don't cure that issue. Have you called the doc to advise that nothing you've tried is working and ask for alternatives like a shot as someone suggested?
My nephew has known what money is since he was 2 and got a little bank to put the money in. We also let him "pay" with his money to buy a toy sometimes. I gave him some money for Halloween and he got to spend that and was very excited about getting it, though I don't know that money is going going solve your issue anyway.
