Take Your Medicine

You are sick.  You want to feel better.  You go to the effort of visiting a doctor.  You purchase the medicine.  You go home.    You get the glass of water ready.  You read the label directions. You free the medication from its container.  You look at it.  You gulp.  The tablet is still in your hand.  You are reluctant to swallow.  You might choke.

 

Does the throat literally constrict?

 

Why is it, that a male who can gulp their food, find it difficult to swallow a teeny tiny tablet?

Taking tablets is not a problem for me. Bit like B3, a handful at a time. When I was in hospital I had to take around 20 + tablets each day. Just as well it doesn't bother me. 

My daughter on the other hand is hopeless. Even as a teenager cleaning her teeth made her gag. I think she is ok with that now. 🙂
