How do I overcome my fear of taking medication?

Hello folks,

I currently have difficulty swallowing and am now supposed to start Helicobacter eradication.

How can I force myself to take medication now? I'm so afraid of swallowing it, and who can guarantee that my swallowing difficulties will improve?

The proton pump inhibitor is small, the antibiotic may be available as a drop / juice.

What are these drugs? Capsules? Tablets?
Are they retard drugs?

Some capsules, if they are not retarded, can be opened and if necessary stir the contents in water, etc. Tablets, just as not retarded, may be murdered.

Or even capsule or tablet, for example on a spoon yogurt, so that “slides” it quite easily. This has always worked very well in patients with swallowing problems.
Or even with a large swallow of water (the best head is slightly inclined down with a straw – so you usually get more liquid).

A patient, with him, these swallowing complaints (only in tablets) were very massive, the tablets have hit in damp oblates and then rinsed down with a huge swallow of water.

But you’ll have a doctor who prescribed the medicines to you. Can’t he tell you what you could do?

Are the swallowing complaints only for medicines? So psychic?
Or physically, for example by illnesses or trauma (such as injuries etc.)?
You can never give guarantees. Like what? We don’t know anything about you
But if these swallowing complaints are psychic, then one can start to analyze where they come from, or where this massive fear comes from from swallowing.

What I just remember. A few years ago, a manufacturer of drugs has thrown some sort of sip aid on the market. This is a gel (we have tested it terrible, we nurses at the time), tastes like lemon (*hust*), you can push the tablets or capsules through the gel and then take them.

Why didn’t you tell your doctor you were afraid to swallow you?
