Here’s a trick I learned along the way for how to swallow a pill! 😁

Here's another tip. If you have a capsule, like the one in the video, it floats in liquid, so tip your head down and it will be closer to he back of your mouth and easier to swallow. It's the opposite for tablets (often coated), they sink in liquid, so tip your head up and they will sink and be closer to back of your mouth again making it easier to swallow. Hope this helps!

Another tip: Make sure that your medication does not have any interactions with grapefruit if the soda is flavored with it! I know some lemon-lime sodas (Squirt, I know for sure) use it. Grapefruit is known to interact with lots of different meds 😊

this video and these comments are such a blessing, i’m never able to swallow pills because of anxiety and i’ve never seen advice on how to help that isn’t “try harder”

[GothCookie]

This is actually SUCH A GOOD TIP!! I'm autistic too and I am very sensitive and bad with swallowing bigger pills. Even my paracetamol is a chew tablet.

Tip carbonation can brake down the capsule to quickly so be careful what you do this with.

A tip that I use is to put it into the back of your throat and then drink alot and swallow as if your just drinking. I feel like when people get nervous it’s because they feel it move from the front of their mouth to the back of their throat so this actually helps a lot x💕

I remember seeing her on Love on the spectrum. She’s such a joyful and happy soul hope she finds someone 😊❤

[cassified]

Yeah, it works! I do that a lot because I absolutely hated taking meds for the longest time with a chronic fear of choking/puking. Huge help

My gramma taught me to just put the pill in before you swallow a bite of food. You won't even notice

[srah]

As someone who really struggles to take pills even tiny ones this is actually so helpful thank you so much 😭

[lindseyh]

I found this video about a week ago and finally used it today so I could take my pill WITH you and I am literally sobbing right now because I've never swallowed a capsule in my life before today THANK YOU 😭❤️

[morningstar]

It's so nice to see that other people do this too. I started having a hard time swallowing pills a few years ago and figured out that if I use soda or a bubbly energy drink, it makes it so I can barely feel the pill

[PurdueAlum]

I also say put the pill on the tip of the tongue not the back, and a straw really helps because you are sucking the drink in so bloop it goes flying in with your drink down ur throat voila.

So a combo of not putting pill too far back, carbonation, and straw and you can tackle any pill.

Drink in first! Always the way to go. I never thought about my medicine taking difficulty being a sensory/ADHD problem before.

[peaches]

For some reason that never occurred to me! Thank you. I really wish more medication could be liquid or chewable.

Thank-you for this channel. I was diagnosed at age 45 with both ADHD and Autism Level 1. I did not get the learning disabilities comorbidity with it. We’re all different yet alike in so many ways.

The more we talk about ourselves, the more knowledge people will have about who we are. Regardless of what level autism we have, or what other comorbidities we have, we are all worth of love, acceptance and friendships. ❤

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who struggles taking they’re meds lol

[jonmcclung]

Anyone else just finished watching every single Kaelynn video and now you're just waiting for her to post more? Thank you Kaelynn you're amazing!

This is a great trick. Another one I like to use is lifting my leg up slightly off the ground while I swallow the pill. It tricks my brain into focusing on my leg instead of hyperfocusing on the possibility of the pill getting stuck in my throat

[Ellie_Eclipse]

It was very helpful to start drinking before I put the pill in, having the drink already to go helps distract...
I barely notice the pill anymore.
