i used to have the same problem when i was younger until someone gave me this tip!.it made sense so i tried it and it worked for me !.hope it works for you!.first i have a question!.how do you sallow your pill!? do you put your head back so your mouth is in the air and your throat`s in a straight line!?when so that is wrong by doing that your throat is stretched not relax so your putting extra stress on it making it harder to swallow!.you must put your chin slightly under so the throat muscles are relax put the tablet on the back of your tongue and swallow with water keeping your throat in it`s relaxed position!.hope it works for you you will be surprise!.when you are still having problems you could try crushing the tablets between two spoons and eating with jam or honey or start taking tablets you can dissolve in water!.either way i wish you success but please try my first suggestion first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Jack, crush the pills between two spoons!. Put in your favorite sherbert or icecream!. Mix well!. Eat!. Can use syrup too!. If the pill can not be crushed and in gel or caplet form, try swallowing two large gulps of orange juice, pop pill in the back of your tongue and quickly without thinking, drink one big gulp of juice!. If you can immagine it to a peice of food like, fruit, or other, you can control the mind over matter experience of taking a pill!. You can also ask for crushable pills at the pharmacy if your truely incapable!. Just let them know, and hopefully they can make suggestions as well!. Hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't like taking pills either!. For me, small ones are no big deal, but the big ones I don't swallow that easily!.
Here are some of the things I have done:
Grind the pill up and put it in yogurt or pudding or something
Cut in half (what I usually do)
Take it with pudding or yogurtWww@Answer-Health@Com
