just put alot of water in your mouth and swallow it!.!.!.you wont even notice that it's thereWww@Answer-Health@Com
For a long time, I couldn't swallow pills either!. I'd have to crush them or if it was a capsule, I would break open the capsule and just take the powder that was inside!. Lots of people have trouble with swallowing pills!. I have no trouble now with small coated pills or capsules, but the big ones, I try and stay away from!. If you're allowed to take them with food, just take them with a mouthful of food and you won't even know they're there!. Or you can try crushing them or emptying the capsule!. You might get an awful or bitter taste, but at least you'll get them down!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Everyone else here is right!. You can try crushing it, but it will leave an extrememly nasty taste, but you know--- its worth it if your that scared!.
Im extreeemmly scared of pills!.!. I was even afraid of my inhaler when i first tried it!.!.!.i'm afriad of choaking!
But either crush it and get that bad taste for like a few seconds, or ask if you can get a liquid kind!.
You can try forcing yourself to chase it down with water in 1 gulp, but seems like you are so scared you probably wont do it- if you want to try, go for it-- its the best way!. When you gulp it with water, dont freak out and stop gulping half way, or you will choke on the water (and the pill) and it wont go down!. just do it quick!

used to have the same problem!.
for some reason drinking milk instead of water helped!.
lean your head back, i used to do that in the beginning!.
or chew up some chocolate cake or good food, stick the pill in the middle of the chewed up food and swallow!.
hope it helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Crush it up and put it in a little bit of food!?
I know it's a trick with cats but it might help!.
Or breaking it into halves and swallowing one half at a time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

are you afraid of choking!? You won't!.!.I use to have this fear!. you have to take like 6 pills to have a possiblity to choke!.!.nad you still won'tWww@Answer-Health@Com
Try it with food!. The food will open up your throat so it will actually be opened more than it needs to be to swallow the pill!. It should go down easily!. It's really no worse than swallowing rice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
ok well i had the same problem!. u just need to put the pill in the very back of ur throat and then drink it down!. or just get liquid medicine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
My son is 12 and he can't/won't take pills either! So you're not alone on this! You can't crush them up since they are gel pills!. Can your mom or dad just get you some liquid medicine!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
