googled 'how to take pills when you're scared' and now I'm even more scared they'll get stuck in my throat lol

Thanks Dr. Jen! I have also advised my patients: as soon as you put the pill(s) in your mouth, bathe them in your saliva - your own remarkably effective lubricant - before swigging your water. That plus your water makes it much easier to get them down to your stomach.

I can’t swallow any pills at all . Sometimes I eat the pills then I drink water.

Im only 12 and I COULD NOT swallow the pill my tongue would not let me :( but after a while I did it but the pill got stuck in my throat and I got super scared I thought I was gonna die. But I searched up how to get a pill unstuck from throat and one of the options said to eat a piece of bread I did it and the pill got unstuck. You can try this too it really helped me!!!

Since dysport injections pills get stuck in my throat! I usually empty my capsules into water and drink it, but now I’m on an extended release tablet and it’s getting stuck 😩

Instead of easing it u are making it more difficult for us to swallow tablets by focusing on the NOT aspects... Not a useful video

[London.Sierra]

I can take any pills except the really big ones I’m to scared 😭

You're beautiful to watch, But it would have helped if you wouldn't have made the ones of us that are afraid to take the pill more afraid and also it would have helped if you would have showed physically how to take a pill, like maybe just take a vitamin supplement and show us in real-time, Because now I'm a little more scared and I also still don't know where to put it inmouth how you're supposed to take the ones that are like non coated because they don't float to the back of your mouth😞
