dissolve a pill in a glass of water (hot or warm, or whatever) and add some flavouring so that it doesn't taste bad.

Come on, grow up. Learn to take a pill. Lots of us have gag reflex problems but I'd rather gag and choke on a pill rather than have nasty pinworms. UCK! Be an adult about this here.

If you can't swallow pills, there is a product that grinds up pills so that you can swallow them in powder form. Ask at your local drug store or health food store.
I don't know about pin worms being stopped by a pill, they used to paint them with India Ink and this would seep into the skin and kill them. So I imagine that there is a medicine that you apply locally and a doctor could prescribe it for you.

Smash the pills into a fine powder and mix them with whatever you like to drink

My mother used to dissolve pills in a spoon with water. Then we could slurp it all down and immediately wash it all down with a drink of water.
Sometimes, she would need to crack or crush the pill to get it to dissolve all the way.

I had that when I was a kid.
The pill is the only thing that works.
If you are allowed to eat when taking the pill, crush it and mix it with pudding or yogurt or applesauce.

Antihelmintic treatment benefit must be weighed with the risk of adverse effects and the possibility of reinfection, which is seldom harmful.
Strict handwashing is required after contact with patient, patient clothing, and stretcher.
All bedding and gowns should be cleaned.
Stretchers should be washed before further patient use.
The entire household should be treated simultaneously.
Treat itch, irritation, and excoriation symptomatically.

I'm not a doctor, but I would suggest either seeing if your doctor has it in a liquid form. Or ask your doctor if this particular medication can be crushed up and maybe mixed with water or juice. Be sure to ask first though.

If you ask the pharmacist, they sometimes can give you the liquid forms of medication, or let you know if you can dissolve it without harming the medication potency.
