It took me until I was about 12 to be able to swallow pills!.
If you are given a prescription for strep throat or something, always ask for the liquid form!.

But if you absolutely have to take pills, there's a couple of things you can try;

1!. Put the pill far back on your tongue and have a full bottle of water!.!.!.just keep drinking and swallowing and eventually the pill will go down too!. And make sure you're relaxed, if you're really nervous about swallowing a pill your throat can sort of tense up without you really knowing!. It's not the most pleasant experience, but many times if I needed to take Dramamine or something, I would go through about 2 bottles of water, but eventually would swallow the pill!.
2!. You can try putting the pill in the center of a spoonful of jello, pudding, jelly, etc!.!.!. But jello works best since it just slides down your throat anyway!. It'll do exactly the same thing if there's a pill in it too!.

Good Luck, and I hope I helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com
