He just retches then spits them out! Have tried breaking them in half, putting them in food, llghim to gulp loads of water quickly but he still cannot swallow them. And its getting a bit silly giving Calpol to a 12 yr old!

You can get a thing that will grind pills to powder to mix with jam or yoghurt or custardy pudding. Ask at the pharmacy for liquid medicine equivalents. What is wrong with giving a 12 yo calpol?
Warning! Never open the plasticky gelatin capsules and tip out the contents unless you are SURE it is safe to do so, some meds that are put in those capsules shouldn't be in contact with the mouth or throat, some even need to get into the intestine before they can be absorbed.
