How can I teach my child to swallow a pill? Some children as young as age 3 or 4 can swallow a pill, while some teenagers still can't accomplish the task! When your child is ready to try, have him practice with something small and hard-coated, like Tic Tac breath mints. Here's how: With a mouthful of water, have your child look up at the ceiling.
To swallow the pill, have your child: 1  sit up straight with the head centered and straight. 2  avoid tilting the head too far back, which can make swallowing more difficult. 3  have your child take a few sips of water to âpracticeâ swallowing. 4  then, put the pill on your childâs tongue and then have him or her drink the water again.
