    Someone already said it, but tilting your chin down opens your throat, while tilting your head back will constrict

    Tucking your chin down while swallowing pills is best

      Also many pills (especially capsules, where the coating and filling are separate vs tablets that are compressed as one) float, so counterintuitively, tilting your head forward actually brings the capsule up to the back of your throat!

          Sure. Fuck sincerity, fuck honest advice. This guy didn’t specify exactly how one should swallow, so he’s a lying liar! You got me!

          They are trying to be funny by playing on the fact that the person they are replying to didn’t include closing their mouth in the list of steps.

          People that are capable of realizing I didn’t narrate the entire process of swallowing. IDK, if you’re imagining I would even put into words specific movements of the tongue, lips, jaw, etc, you’re opinion of my instructional skills is way off.
