Im scared to choke on pill
Take it in front of a mirror, so you know *exactly* where it is.
I used to have this fear, but I realized it was just in my mind. You can try putting the pill in a glass of water and just drinking it down. After you do it once, it should be an easy task.
Hope that helped.
try practicing with something small like a tic-tac just to bust your confidence, then try something larger like an skittles or m&m, something that does not taste horrible after melting a little in your mouth.
Also drink from a water bottle rather than an open glass.
Lastly, can you break it in half maybe?
Once you start drinking don't stop or hesitate, gravity will help if you tilt your head back a little.
put the pill as far back on your tongue as possible. Then start guzzling water.
I used to be a little weirded out by swallowing my allergy pills also, but then one day I decided I'd get up the guts to just throw it in and swallow...I'm pretty sure I started off drinking a lot of water though so that I could get it down and I can remember a few times where it'd swish around in my mouth instead of going down so I just kept trying.
You can do all the other tricks to take a pill, but it messes with the effect a little.
Crunching them up or disolving them in water means they can't be regulated into your bloodstream like they would if they disolved by stomache acids. Which means you'll have a burst of allergy relief, but it won't last very long.
I had the same fear of swallowing pills too. However, my dad taught me how to do it the easy way. Just put the pill way back on the back part of your tongue and take a big gulp of water. The pill will go down easy and you won't even know it. Now I am no longer scared to choke on a pill.
I also have allergies and hate to take my pills. But in order to feel better I must, So I take a spoonful of jelly and bury the pill in it and I make sure I have a large glass of water and I take the pill and if I don't swallow it with the jelly I keep drinking and try not to think what I'm doing. I've done this for years, now I just take it and don't even think about it. You can do it, just don't think of the choking, just think what this is going to do for you.
last year i couldnt swallow pills either. but iv had to take plenty of pills and you just have to keep forcing yourself to and eventually it gets easier. trust me, just keep taking them. and using alot of water helps.
I had this same thing what i used to was split any painkiller or pill in half and swallow it like that then slowly increase the dose with a big glass of water and finally take the two halfs together. Now i can swollow it all at once so if i can do you can. Good luck!
get a pill crusher and put the pieces of the pills in yogurt and eat it. get the crusher from a pharmacy
