If you are not interested in breathing your medications, perhaps the following tips might come in handy.

Before taking pills, you might practice with smaller and larger candy, trying to swallow it whole. Alternatively, drinking a glass of water before drinking the pill can be useful too, since it makes your throat moist and, therefore, less irritable. Once you place the pill in your mouth, make sure it is turned in the direction of your throat, not sideways, and put it on the tip of your tongue or in the center, wherever you feel more comfortable with it. Also, you might chew the pill before swallowing, use a straw for drinking water, making it easier for the pill to go down or try to drink it with a soda or a glass of carbonated water since these might work better for you.
