help getting medicine into my 3yr old son please

hi all my son is 3 and is quite poorly atm. he has a virus and it's pushing his temp as high as 40.4!!! the problem is we can't get him to take any medicines i've tried just about anything we can think of from medi dummies to hiding it in food or pop we've even tried forcing it down him which was heart breaking and didn't work either as he still managed to spit it all over me. i spoke to the doctor who simply said i had to get it down him and there was nothing else that could be done. i'd like him to come here and try to "get it down him" he was no help and very patronising, so as usual i'm turning to you all for some advice. any suggestions are welcomed thank you in advance

    thanks ever so much for ur reply. unfortunately he cannot comprehend bribery believe me we've tried, and he has the whole hyper sensitive senses thing going on so anything cold or wet he won't even entertain the idea. his temps back up again now and all i can do is strip him off and cool sponge him. thank you again
