Oh, do I have experience with Amox and kids. Sigh. I think squirting into the side of the mouth worked better than down the throat; less choking. And, God, it's exactly like pilling a cat, down to the finger in the corner of the mouth to make the kid open.
Once, in desperation, I mixed a particularly hard-to-stomach med with chocolate ice cream. (That one got vomited back up at me, making it clear that the med and the daughter were just not compatible.)
Do you have eleven days of Amoxicillin? If so, you might try chocolate ice cream. Or any other strongly-flavored ice cream.
Also, Amoxicillin STAINS. BIG-TIME. Use a bib if at all possible.
