help swallowing pills

If you have problems swallowing pills, here are some tricks which may help.

- Try gargling with a sore throat treatment before swallowing the pill. This will anesthetize your throat so you don't feel the pill.

- Place the pill at the back of your tongue and tilt your head forward when swallowing.

- Place the pill on the front of your tongue and tilt your head backwards when swallowing.

Keep the pill in your mouth with whatever liquid you're swallowing it with for a few seconds - this will give the liquid a chance to make the coating on the pill or capsule slippery so it will go down easier.
