Answer 1

Try putting the pill in a spoonful of icecream that will just slide down your throat and taste good.

Answer 2

I know exactly what you are going though, I still have trouble swallowing tablets too. I am 50 , you are not a woos. What I do if they are tablets I crush them to a powder mix them in a little honey or peanut butter on a spoon and take it from a spoon it helps disguise the bad taste.

It works for me. What ever tip you try I hope you find the one that works for you

Answer 3

just swallow the pill it will go to it's needed part cause if they wanted them in the eye they would have given you eye drops so think !

Answer 4

Diclocil also comes in liquid form.  Contact your doctor and ask for the prescription to be changed to liquid.  More than likely it comes in cherry, grape, and bubblegum!  It is an antibiotic like penicillin so if you have ever had a reaction, make sure the doc knows that.

Answer 5

Try to powder the tablet and dissolved in water then drink it.
