HELP SWALLOWING PILLS?!?!

While it seems like an easy task, swallowing a pill is something that many adults as well as children have great difficulty doing. The fear of gagging can cause the throat to tighten up so that pill stays in your mouth until you spit it out. Fortunately, there are various ways to approach the problem so that you can relax, overcome the fear of choking, and just let the pill easily slide down. It's like riding a bike - once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature.
Steps:-
1. Find the baking section of a grocery store and purchase five candy decorations of various sizes. The smallest can be sprinkles, while the largest should mimic the size of the pill that will need to be swallowed (E.g. Breath mints).
2. Sit down with a glass of water and relax. Do whatever you can to ease any anxiety, such as finding a quiet place, listening to music that calms you, or meditating. This will help soothe your nerves and break the association of pill time being stressful, so your body will be less likely to gag. Gagging is a natural response to the fear of choking, so in all likelihood, it's all in your head (unless you have dysphagia; see Warnings below). Use visualization techniques (e.g. imagine yourself swallowing a pill without a problem) and/or mantras (e.g. "I can swallow a pill easily.") to overcome psychological obstacles to swallowing a pill.
3. Numb your throat by spraying or gargling an over-the-counter topical anesthetic (normally used for sore throats).
4.Salivate. If you find your mouth getting dry, this will not help you swallow the pill. You can salivate by imagining yourself eating your favorite food, taking a sip of water or rubbing your tounge quickly side to side between the frontal lower lip and your teeth. Some people find it helpful to drink a swallow of water just before putting the pill into their mouth.

5.Take a deep breath. This may help to suppress the gag reflex.[2] At the very least, it will probably help you relax.
6. Place the smallest candy on your tongue, as if it were a pill. Some people place it on the front of the tongue, while others place it on the back, near the throat (but not too close, or your fingers might trigger the gag reflex). Just before placing the pill in your mouth, breathe in slightly and hold it. This can give you the security of knowing you can cough out the pill if you feel it may get stuck.

*
Make sure you place it in the center rather than to the right or your left, especially if you are going to be swallowing an oval-shaped pill (such as a vitamin). An oval-shaped pill should be placed so that the length is parallel to your throat. Otherwise, the pill may go into the throat "sideways" and create discomfort.
7. Immediately take a sip of water and wash the pill directly into your throat. Take a few additional gulps after the pill is in your throat to help it move down.

* The water should be cool but not cold.
* You can also use juice or grape drink, but check to make sure that the juice will not conflict with the medication you're taking. Drinking a carbonated beverage straight from the bottle may also prove helpful,[2] possibly because the bubbles make the pill not as easy to detect and the motion of throwing your head back when drinking from the bottle can help the pill go down.
* An alternative is to use this technique with food instead of fluid. Just chew the food, then place the pill in your mouth (in the food) and swallow. As with juice, check to make sure that the food will not conflict with the medication you're taking. Some medications need to be taken on an empty stomach.
* For some people, using a straw to drink the water or beverage helps because the suction used to pull the liquid through the straw makes it easier to swallow the pill......Continued....

If it is a capsule you can open them and put the contents of the capsule on a spoon of sugar or something and then eat it. If it is a softgel you can break it open and kind drip the contents onto your tounge, and if it is a hard pill you can still crush it and put it on a spoon and swallow it with something. There is no difference in swallowing a pill whole or crushed---good luck

I used to have trouble swallowing pills, too. It just took a lot of practice. Start with something smaller - like a benadryl before bed. Fill your mouth with a big gulp of cool water (not too cold) and put the pill in there and let it float to the back. Concentrate on relaxing your throat and try to gulp the water with the pill in it. You can also try putting it in pudding or applesauce.
You won't get it stuck - just drink lots of water, it will go down. :)

There is no more possibility than there is with anything you EAT. This is all in your head. If you can swallow green peas, you can swallow anything else. Most people use a glass of water and use the big gulp of water method. Pop the pill in your mouth and then a big gulp of water which you gulp down. The water will take the pills along. And NO, you will not choke, and the pills will not get stuck. Crushing pills could be very BAD under certain circumstances. Many pills are built in layers of different strength to provide a controlled release over time as they dissolve in your digestive system. By crushing a pill, you defeat this timed release which could result in an overdose because of the concentrated strength of all the powder dissolving at the same time in the stomach. BAD! BAD! BAD! Things like gelatin capsules are designed to hold together JUST long enough for the capsule to get out of the stomach and into the small intestine and then come apart by dissolving to release what is inside. Medicines are not easily absorbed through the stomach lining, but is easily absorbed through the lining of the intestines.

There honestly is no way you can choke on that kind of pill. I used to be terrified, so what i do is put them right at the back of my tongue and take a drink of water to wash it down with it. It's really easy once you get used to it. Remember that you need to take these pills and just go for it. Hope I helped. xxxxxx

Try taking them this way put some Jam on a teaspoon put the capsule in the jam then swallow the jam and the capsule you will find it goes down easily and you do the same with tablets that is what I did for along time now I just swallow my tablets/capsule's with water so I hope it works for you.

Pour some water in ur mouth, tilt ur head back, put the pills to the back of ur throat then swallow. Drink more water straight after. Don't think they would get stuck but the water would prevent it.

Good luck :-)

It is no different to swallowing food.

A SPOON FULL SUGAR HELPS THAT MEDICINE GO DOWN !

fgs all u need is a glass of water and they go down in a split second
