How to give medicine to your baby?

When our body suffers from a certain disease, the first thing to do is to treat it with medicine. For adults, taking medicine is not a difficult task. You just need to prepare a cup of warm water. It should be noted that medicines cannot be taken with drinks or tea, as it will affect the medicinal properties. So, when your baby gets sick, what method should you use to get him to take medicine?
