Bribe him with chocolate.

I use a syringe and squirt it down the back of the throat… it goes down fast . Then I give 1 jelly baby for reward after

Depends on his age, i feel your pain. I found 2 ways that worked for me after a long struggle with the same problem. One put meds in syringe, squirt in back of throat and blow lightly in face, forces them to swollow( advice from doc), other one if you can give it on a spoon, i always have a tin of milo, one spoon meds then a spoon of milo, most kids like eating milo😊
