Only if you're darn sure she'll drink the whole thing.  

Is there a drugstore in your area that does custom compounding?  Maybe they can come up with a flavor she likes or make it more concentrated so it's less for her to swallow.

 It depends on the particular antibiotics. Some medications seperate when mixed in something.

Most Walgreens have compounding capabilities!

If she's eating solids, try mixing it in a bit of yougurt or pudding.

My DD wouldn't drink the bottle if the antibiotics were in there. I waited until she was hungry to give her the medicine. It was one little drop at a time into her mouth, eventually she would take it because she knew she was getting a bottle right afterwards.

Thank you ladies! I called the pharmacy and they're going to mix some up because she refuses it and her bronchitis is getting so much worse :(

No solids yet only 3 months old

Quoting slvrbtrfly:

I used to have to do that. Try to dilute it as little as possible and be sure she will take all of it
