I took baby aspirin till I was 15, so with some people it just takes a little longer to get the swing of things.

The iron pills they gave me were as tiny as a birth control pill, but they were so hard to get down. It was like they were heavy and would weigh down in my throat.

I can take Motrin, Advil, Zyrtec, and Aleve as long as I take it with pop (anything that fizzes) and I, too, hold it in my mouth and then stick the pill in. I can take birth control pills normally tho but one time I tried to take it with water and just couldn't get it down. I have normal swallowing problems anyways... sometimes it's hard for me to even swallow food.

My doctors always laugh at me cuz I ask for liquid. I was even taking chewable Triaminic for my allergies. But it's graet cuz I get to take the pink medicine when I'm sick!
