I can't really swallow medicines without gagging nowadays. I think it is because when I was younger my father tried to get me to swallow one of those worm tablets you have to take when one person in your family gets worms. I worked myself into such a state, when it came to trying to swallow it, I gagged and spat it out on the carpet.

Now I'm really worried because the year I'm going into at school has lots of injections- one of them is an oral one. Basically they squirt a foul tasting liquid into your mouth.

I'm really scared because I just know I will gag, and i really don't want to be sick. Does anyone have any tips for swallowing medicine/tablets? I just can't seem to stop myself from gagging. Also I'd be interested to know whether anyone else here finds it hard to swallow medication. Thanks everyone!
