Please do no heat the antibiotic. If you are putting it in apple juice ... put it in a small quantity juice and make sure your daughter drinks the whole lot (to ensure she gets the full dose). It doesn't matter if the antibiotic doesn't dissolve in the juice.
Do you have the suspension or the pills? Please add answer as a comment.

They are the pills. I empty into the juice. The medicine sticks to the side of the glass. I might put it in apple sauce and see if that works better.
Yes, try to empty capsule into a spoonful of apple sauce and get her to take the whole spoonful.
