I have extremley bad cramps... only the problem is i dont know how to swallow a pill. The advice I want is NOT how to swallow a pill but if you know of any really good chewable types of medicine to realive the pain (I'm 15 years old if that helps). Thanks!
angelbabi91 answered Tuesday December 7 2004, 8:02 pm: try crushing up the pill and just downing it. drink water AFTER, and yah it will taste pretty bad! or you could crush up 2 pills and put them in water, but not alot or it will just weaken them to much to even help! i dont know of any chewable ones so sorry on that one!
hope i helped!

Sunshine answered Wednesday December 1 2004, 5:14 am: I don't know of any chewable medicines that relieve pain, but my cousin had the same problem as you do. She would dissolve tylenol or aspirin into a tablespoon of water and take it like cough medicine. She burned herself really badly once, and needed something stronger than tylenol or aspirin, and her doctor prescribed a liquid pain reliever. Maybe you should talk to your doctor and he'll prescribe something for you. [ Sunshine's advice column | Ask Sunshine A Question ]
dinoold answered Friday November 26 2004, 11:31 am: what about the powder aspirin? You can mix it in some juice and take it that way. Or try baby liquids. Heating pads and hot baths help too. [ dinoold's advice column | Ask dinoold A Question ]

Other good relief:
Heating pads, regular exercise, hot baths, tea with evening primrose oil in it, etc.
theblondeone989 answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 3:18 am: I suppose you could mash the pill up and find some other way to get it down...but isn't that a whole lot of work to avoid swallowing a little pill?! Midol= the cure for everything. [ theblondeone989's advice column | Ask theblondeone989 A Question ]

So what she does is takes the pills, crunches them up with a spoon puts it in a jucy drink and then drinks it. Also, you must must must get a heating pad. They are the most useful things ever. When you're cramping really bad just lay down and put the heating pad on your stomach. They really help! Hope this helped. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
