Answers:

Then why not place the pill in some foodstuff and then try swallowing, I'm sure you wouldn't resist Pizza.



First, are you positive you have a bacterial infection and not a virus? Antibiotics only work on bacterial infections. You can be sure it's bacterial for instance if you have green mucus instead of clear.
Second, if you were to go to your doctor and he verifies it's bacterial, he can prescribe you a liquid antibiotic (and the pharmacy will flavor it anything you like). That will solve your pill swallowing problem.
So on to your problem should you have to swallow the pills, put the capsule in some jelly and swallow. Or put it in something else that is similar and hat you can swallow. Or, what I do, take a drink of water or juice or something and hold it in your mouth. Slip the pill in your mouth and swallow the pill and liquid in one fell swoop.



Try cutting the pill in half so that it is smaller to swallow. Or crush it up and eat it.
