Please help make my crushed pills taste less horrendous!

Question

I just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth out this morning and obviously am having trouble eating. But the pain has started, and I have rather large pills of hydrocodone and ibuprofen. I can't really feel my tongue and its difficult to swallow, so I tried crushing the pills and mixing them in applesauce. Oh my God, it was the worst tasting thing I've ever eaten. Anyone have any better suggestions of what to mix it in? Otherwise I guess I'll just use more applesauce and hope for the best.

Thanks!

Try putting the pill in you mouth whole and swallowing it with a spoonful of applesauce or sherbet.  There is no blockage at the back of your throat, so the med should just slide down.  If you still can't swallow them, call your doc and have them phone in liquid pain med (and motrin comes in children's elixer at the drug store - just read the package for the right amount of milligrams to take.
