My daughter was that way for a long time. I would just have her chew some bread until it was mushy enough to swallow and then have her put the pill in the middle and swallow, it sounds kind of icky, but it worked. Also, you could try crushing the pill and putting it in a spoonful of pudding. I have a friend that trained himself to chew up the pills.....eeewwww, I wouldn't recommend that. Now he just does it to gross out his friends.

Yea I'm 15 too and it's hard for me to do it too. The only way I can swallow it is if I put the pills in my mouth and fill it with a whole lot of water until I can't really tell the pills are in there. Then I just swallow the water with the pill. Your body can swallow the pills, it's just your mind psyching you out. Mind over matter! lol GOOD LUCK! ♥

Well I can tell you my daughter has problems swallowing pills, so what she does it she takes a bite of banana then once she is ready to swallow it she puts the pill in her mouth. Has helped and she can take anything now without a problem, it also helps the pill go down alot easier too. Hope this helps and good luck.

That's okay, I used to have the same problem for the longest time.
If you can, break the pill in half, or grind the pill into powder so you can dissolve it into a drink. Swallow the pill with liquid at the same time, never swallow it dry.

If it is in a tablet form, break it into halves and sollow it with large amounts of cool water.
If capsule, then u can open up the capsule and just take the powder in it. Although it smells abit awful, but antibiotics juz smells like tat.
Do rem not to take capsules with warm water, as the capsule might just melt before it reaches your stomaches and stick onto your gutters or anywhere between your throat to your stomach.

I always crush the pill between two spoons and pour the pill dust on top of a spoon full of honey, goes down just fine.

First put a bunch of water or flavored drink in your mouth, lean your head back, drop the pills in and swallow.

ask for liquid version of these pills. or open then and mix them with water and then drink them. or you can grind then and swallow, or add to water.
Good Luck! This happened with me too =)
