Question:
Why do people throw their head back when swallowing a tablet?
I can't understand why people throw their head back when swallowing a tablet, and the reason I can't understand this is because by throwing the head back in this way causes the entry for liquid to narrow.
Answers:
It's a habit. People who do it swear they can't swallow a pill any other way. It doesn't help and yes, it does make the passage-way more narrow. But they still do it. As long as they don't choke, there's no harm. And if they choke, you would HOPE they'd quit doing it!
