My preschooler hates medicine and trying to get her to take cold/flu meds is such a challenge. This is particularly difficult as we enter cold and flu season where sickness is rampant amongst kids. Does anyone else deal with this and have you found good ways to cope? Bribery has been the best I can come up with...

Breaking the medication up/hiding it in food always worked for me when my children were going through phases like this. But, don't underestimate the power of a little bribery!
