One day it comes out from nose as he didnt swallow it and it goes into nasal passage. I want to know any alternative Fe medicine can be given bcoz taste of this medicine not liked by my son. And can it be given in small amount in 3/4 time to make 1.5ml.

All.iron syrup are difficult to give...You can mix in orange juice though it may reduce it's absorption a bit..
Try 0.5 ml twice a day first ..In any case it doesn't help then meet your doc an ask him to change brand like tonoferon or hepatoglobin (which is better in taste)
