Any advice on how to get a kid to be able to swallow giant antibiotic pills? My husband did not get the liquid and now I am at a loss on how to get these pills in my kid. He struggled to swallow a half pill, and is currently trying to eat them crushed up into applesauce, but is threatening to puke. 🤮

I'd say use a pill cutter but if the pills are too big that might not work. Also I used to coat my cat's pills in butter, that would make it go down easier. I don't know if you can do that for humans or not lol

He's doing his best, but it's not working. Maybe he can wait to start the antibiotics, see if the doctor can write a new prescription for the syrup

Will be calling doctor tomorrow to see if we can get a new prescription for the liquid or chewable. I even struggle with the giant antibiotic pills as a grown adult!

@scruffy.nerf.herder we all do! Lol. I'm actually pretty impressed that he's trying, instead of complaining. That's why I'd throw my hands up and get something else

Maybe call the dr tomorrow and see if they can call in the chewable antibiotics!

@scruffy.nerf.herder theres a chewable amoxacillin and a chewable augmentin (that one may be a little harder to find)

These are twice a day antibiotics so I don’t know. And I can’t message his doctor because once he turned 12, they take parents off the account and he has to set up his new one. So will be calling tomorrow 😑

Oh, shit. Are they really enormous? They probably taste awful split up. Can you call the doctor and explain and get a new script tomorrow? I don't have any secret techniques knowing how huge those pills can be and they stick on the way down.

@scruffy.nerf.herder I am sure you have googled everything, like swallowing with food like pudding. I know those horse pills too.
