Help with baby spitting up medicine

[Birdy2]

What do you do if a baby spits up within minutes of getting medication? I have a baby on phenobarb and every single time he's given his dose he spits up after and I'm afraid he's losing it all. His level was low last check. Also, the only way to get it down is to lay him flat and slowly squirt a little at a time on the back of his tongue while squeezing his cheeks so he swallows. Otherwise the medicine is running out of his mouth or he's spitting it out. In a bottle there's the risk of him not finishing even a small amount and spitting up is still an issue.
