Dear,

Just ask for a suitable dosage form means, syrup or suspension or emulsion or else. Now a days there are so many routes for the administration of the drug if you like the painful way ask for an injection if possible and in vain which is the best with less side effects and pure drug effect and safe too. majority of drug do fall in the category so why dont you go for an injection? Dont be scared try to swallow some vitamin or healthy tiny pills if you can with the advise of your doctor.  

go for it, have no fear and ALL THE BEST ,

you gonna have long life man so enjoy it without any fear

I couldn't swallow pills until I was 19.  I understand your situation.  I used to have to crush tylonal in ice cream to take it.  When I was 17 I was diagnosed with a chronic and uncurable digestive disease and the only treatment for me was pills.  I couldn't swallow them - I would gag and choke.  I went two years trying to avoid pills but ended up getting sicker... so yes, I would reccommend doing everything you can to get over not being able to swallow pills.  

Some pills you can cut into small peices.  You can even buy special pill cutters from the drug store.  You can also ask if there is a liquid alternative.  Some pills you cannot cut up because they must stay whole until reaching your stomach and dissolve because breaking them open before hand can make you sick.

Try taking a big gulp of water them putting the pill in while your head is tilted back and swallow WITH the water.  You could try soda or juice to cover the taste of the pills.  You could also try:

-freezing your tongue with ice

-putting pill on a spoon with yogurt or ice cream and swallowing whole.

-take small peices of cheese the size of your pill, swallow them whole one by one.  If you can do that great! Then do it a few more times and try swallowing the pill.. it will be just like swallowing the cheese.  

      -you could even line up some peices of cheese and have your   mom put the pill mixed in with one of those peices of cheese.  close your eyes and just take the cheese peice by peice swallowing it and before you know it you will have swallowed the pill thinking it was cheese

-have your doctor give you a few extra pills or some samples and just take your time.  try and swallow them - no pressure - experiment with different food or soups.  

hope that helps!

There are different types of ways you can take medicine with out the pain of pills. Like liquids and such

Really once you get used to them, they aren't bad, at all!

Just make sure you have plenty of water or try to toss your head back when you swallow it..
