try this
make a paste with baking soda, put it directly on the stain, drip vinegar on the soda and let it bubble. use a extractor, lil green machine works good, and repeat the process until the stain is gone.
the vinegar stinks but does neutralize the smell.
the vinegar soda mixture will pull the stain to the surface so you can clean it.

Cough Medicine or Syrup / Vitamins (Liquid) / Children’s Medicine

Blot with Alcohol until totally removed. Blot with a solution of 1/4 of a cup of liquid HAND dish washing detergent per cup of lukewarm water. Blot with lukewarm water with a white towel. Blot dry with a dry WHITE absorbent towel. Apply a one-half inch layer of WHITE (no printing) paper towels to the affected area and weight down with a flat heavy object and remove the next day.
Rx for Juice Juice & Dye Stain Remover are quite often very successful in removing dyed medications.

After you remove the stain, the smell should start to go away also. Keep the room well ventilated, and use baking soda on the area to absorb any left over residue from the vitamins. I used to use this with my son, so I know exactly what you mean!
If this doesn’t work, you may have to call in a professional. Good luck!
