What is the easiest way to swallow pills?
This may sound gross but it works for me. Sometimes certain vitamins like vit c with rosehip are not that smooth going down and I tend to choke taking it with juice and/ water so what I do is... get something to eat that does not dissolve that quickly like a solid food bread, crackers, not yogurt, apple sauce. Chew the solid food until you feel the need to swallow and instead stick the pill towards the back in the middle of the food. If you do it correctly, you won't even feel the pill go down. It works every time for those really big pills that sometimes get stuck.
What can you do to make it easier to swallow pills?
I've never understand people’s inability to swallow pills, and have always suspected it's a psychological issue. Here's how I got good at it:I had a superb training ground, spent my early teen years stealing random drugs from medicine cabinets in bathrooms all over town. This often caused a sudden need to quickly, sneakily swallow a handful of who-knows-what without water, which was achieved with a deep calming breath followed by visualizing my throat opening.As it was back in the 60's, people weren't yet so drug-crazed; random narcotics and barbiturates sat unused in medicine cabinets after something minor like dental surgery.Once I became aware of drugs, I was amazed by how many there were sitting around town just waiting for me to grab. I always checked the prescription's date, to make sure someone wasn't currently in need, but not once did I find any recent ones. So it was fair game, and I never got caught.Pill snatching and popping taught me to open my throat before I'd ever sucked a dick. The fact that I have a tiny mouth and could open my throat made me, so I'm told, a dick-sucker extraordinaire.Then there's the part about how I've always felt the deprivation of not being breastfed, which makes me like to suck. The boys weren't happy when I switched sides.Later, I was bulimic for a while. It didn't last long because after all that pill popping and dick sucking, sticking a finger down my throat didn't do much. After a month or two of puking, I could stick anything at all down my throat and it wouldn't make me throw up; my gag reflex was simply gone.For many years now, drugwise, I don't take so much as an aspirin. But I take huge amounts of supplements, and folks never stop marveling at the fistfuls of pills I can swallow at once, a skill I never lost.Yup, the boys lost out.

What's an easier way to swallow big pills?
I am kind of bad with swallowing pills. The biggest pill I can swallow is probably a 500mg Tylenol. Well I have a gum infection and I have to take Amoxicillin to try and get rid of the infection. Well... if I don't then I have to get a root canal and I really don't want to get that done. So can anyone help me figure out an easy way to swallow big pills?
I forgot how to swallow a pill???
Just keep trying. If you are an habitual pill-taker, it will come to you. Try putting it as far back in your throat as you can without gagging. Take a little water in your mouth. Starting at the tip of your tongue, do the "wave" with your tongue until it reaches to the back of your throat... you aren't serious, are you?
Easy-to-swallow Omega-3 pills?
I would like to start taking omega-3 supplements, preferably flaxseed oil to avoid heavy metals, but I would consider a fish oil too. However, all the pills I've seen are huge! I have issues swallowing large pills, even if they are soft gels. Are there any brands that make smaller omega-3 pills? (I realize I could use flaxseed oil or powder, but I don't really want to mess with mixing those into my food everyday...) Thanks!

How can I teach my kid (10 years old) to swallow a pill?
Once your sweet one reaches the pre-teen and teen zone, your pediatrician may start to encourage your child to learn to swallow a pill? By the time kids are in middle school, they may be expected to be able to take medication in pill form.What’s a parent to do? Get help, of course!Here are my suggestions:Show your child how to do it by swallowing a small piece of candy like a tic-tac or mintPractice more than once, particularly before it’s really neededUse a glass of water and drink it all after you swallowShow your child how to sip, pop and tip (the head back) and drink more waterIt might help to let your kid look into the mirror while he or she practicesMake sure your child knows to never take medication on his or her own or without adult supervisionNever allow young children to open child-proof containers or measure their own medications (liquid, pill or otherwise).I hope this helps for those of you trying to get your kids to take vitamins or medication!
