Lots of adults can’t swallow pills. This is not uncommon

I can not believe all of the teens that can not swallow pills. Are you all making this a huge ordeal? The food we chew up and swallow is bigger than pills.

Early, sometime in elementary school and well before ten. A prescription for something was sent to the pharmacy and came as pills so I was like - it’s time to take pills. Luckily it wasn’t an issue. One of mine ended up on daily medication by the end of elementary school and it only came in pill form. No tricks, just water. I guess we were lucky, reading these responses.

In his defense these antibiotics are huge. About the size of a small grape.

You could probably cut them in half to help with swallowing.
