As he's so poorly and syringe feeding may be difficult (and risky if it goes in his lungs) maybe try just putting a pea sized amount of the honey on a very small dish of some kind - or a jar lid. And add the baytril to it and mix it up. For that maybe slightly less runny honey!

If he's so unwell he's not really interested in food you may need to just syringe it in, in which case runny honey will do and the medicine less likely to get spat out again. But make sure his head isn't back so it can't go in his lungs - put the syringe in from the side of his mouth.

OK thank you so much for your help, I'll try the mashed up banana 1st as he is eating, he's just not eating as much as usual
