Help with swallowing pills?!?!

What most people don't realize is that when you swallow a pill, most people tilt their head back as they swallow thinking that it will help the pill go down!. This is not a good thing to do because when you tilt your head back, you actually make your airway flatten out and your an sort of constrict it!.!.!.which makes it more difficult for the pill to go down!.

Next time you take a pill, put it in the back of your mouth, swallow some water than put your head down so that you touch your chin to your chest!. It makes it so much easier to swallow the pill because it feels as though your throat widens!. Trust me on this!. My husband has the same problem and I told him to do this just last night and he agreed that it really works! He was amazed!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to have the same problem! Up until I was twelve I could swallow pills because I choked!. Then the school nurse taught me how to because I didn't know how to, put the pill in the back of your mouth and take a big chug of water and pretend like the pill isn't even there!. Another suggestion is to put it in apple sauce and yogurt and don't look at it while your eating and you won't even know you swallowed the pill! Best of luck :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

i have the same problem, and ill be 19 soon enough! what i normally do is put the pill in my mouth, ans then put lots of water in my mouth and kinda swish it around until i cant feel where the pill is, and then quickly swallow, so it seems like the only thing in your mouth is water!. I know it seems silly, but it works out for me, and I don't choke!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

For me, I put the pill in my mouth and then take a big drink of something and then swallow!. This is the only way I can take any pill!. If I don't do it that way, I'll gag or choke myself on the pill! If you take a big enough drink, you usually won't feel the pill go down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

first, if the pills are big and don't say that you can't break or crush, then you can cut them in half or even crush it into some apple sauce!.!.!.not the best tasting so add some sugar too!.
second, i find it works for me to use really cold soda!.!.!.!.put the pill in the back of your mouth and take a big swig!. the carbonation makes it so i can't even feel the pill go down!.
that person had a good suggestion, practice with m&ms if needed!.
hope that all helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
