I always have this problem with swallowing the capsules or pills. Sometimes I tends to finish the whole bottle of water before I can actually swallow the pills/capsules. :/
If only there’s an easy way..

Try positioning the pill as far back your tongue as possible. Or put it at the tip of your tongue. Usually works for me.

the trick is….
You put the capsule on the tip of ur tongue (front!)
Gulp in a mouthful of water (not too much, u need to swallow it in one shot).
Twirl or “rinse” the water around ur mouth so that the capsule gets “mixed” inside the water.
Swallow the water all in one shot while twirling the water. The capsule should go into ur throat without problem

Ouuu.. I always try to put behind my throat^^”

I used to be like you then a friend of my mum taught me a way.
Put some water in your mouth (not too full of course) then put the pill in and swallow it together.
If that can’t work, then use the same way but drink more water after u popped the pill in. You will swallow the pill easily.
It work wonderfully for me XD

normal size pill is okay but capsule a bit hard ^^”

with capsules, after u have a mouthful of water, tilt your head forward (not backwards) then swallow…. cuz the capsules float so if u tilt your head to the back, it floats then cannot go down…
tablets u tilt your head to the back…
Reply:
Forward?
okay will try that

Haha. My friend used to have that problem till her mother brought her back to her doctor. He very kindly smiled at her and said “its ok, no need take pill. ” Then he pulled out the syringe and said he could give it to her via injection. After that she never complaint about pills and always takes them even without water. hehehehe. Its all about motivation ^^

SAMMMME! I always have that phobia, I cannot swallow pills at all! So my way of swallowing pills is to swallow it with food. Bananas, rice, snacks… I think its in my brain, as long as my brain knew I’m swallowing ‘Food’, it goes down easily =D
Reply:
hahahaha imagine it as a food..
oh wait, no one swallows food 1 ler

I’m ok with pills but cough syrups kills me.
With pills: Hold your breath before sticking the pill in, take a big drink of water and swallow everything down. I find that holding my breath makes it go down easier.
Reply:
Syrups is okay ar..
just swallow it

tt time i visit doc, he say swallowing pills can b trained de lor.. haha.. muz start wid swallowing wid small pills bah. wished i had learnt how to swallow when i was young =x

Oh, I have the same problem… I find it easier when I’m thirsty, then I just take a big gulp of water and it sort of “drowns” the pill so I don’t feel it’s there.
Reply:
hmm maybe i can make myself thirsty XD
