You may want to try with a fanciful Favourite cartoon character straw and see if it works.

Thanks. Will try this. Currently, we try normal straw, drinking from cups/bottles, he only interested for a while only.

When my girl was sick she preferred cold milk. We put ice cubes in her milk and let her shake it (to interest her) and she takes it down.

My 2-year old is no longer on straw. He can drink from cup and he will finish up the liquid in different kinds/looks of the cup.

Hi,

U can try cup feeding or spoon feeding.
U can give fruit juices (home made), soup etc to ur boy to prevent him from dehydration. talk to him about the importance of drinking water and let him know that the pain he experienced is temporary and if he has enough water ulcers won't come back. kids needs alot of effort to coax. hope it helps.
