head aches
i get frequent headaches. im 13 and its really really hard for mme to swallow a pill. my mom usually buys advil, the liquid that you drink and the liquid gells (advil pill). i can swallow small pills of other brands, but they're usually not as effective. my weight is starting to get over the limit for childrens advil liquid but i want to keep taking it. is there another good pain reliever out there that is drinkable? and can relieve pain for people over 100-115 lbs?

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Have you seen a doctor or had your eyes tested recently? Someone your age should not be experiencing frequent headaches unless they need glasses, because straining to read or look at the blackboard can cause headaches. It may be worth looking at alternatives to painkillers also because frequent use of those can cause headaches in themselves. If you have a medical condition like migraines then a doctor needs to be monitoring your use of painkillers too. Have a word with your Mum and see about getting professional advice about this. Good luck.

I had the exact same problem. I just learned how to swallow a pill this year. Here's a trick: (Bananas work well) - Take a little peice of banana and chew it. Right before you are about to swallow, put the pill in your mouth. The reason this works for me is because I'm scared I'm going to choke, therefore I have to pretend the pill isn't there. By taking food with it, you don't realize the pill is there, so it's easier to pretend. As for liquid medicine, I just used to take another spoonful of whatever I was taking. It worked for me. Hope this helps.
