Thank u so much I will do that and let u know how I get on
I would definitely take Naija Chick’s advice and email a letter.Ask for a written reply, they will hopefully be reluctant to put any exaggeration or downright lie in writing.
In the meantime I was always choking trying to take tablets as a teenager. I think with me there was nothing physically wrong with my throat but when you have choked and been sick once your body seems to do everything to avoid having a tablet go down again. Of course this just makes the whole thing worse! I found with yogurt or a sauce you can still feel the tablet sliding down and I would still then panic and choke. Certainly worth trying though.
I did find a solution, I was not diabetic then, Take a good bite of bread, chew for just enough time, not too long though, quickly stick the tablet in the middle of the slightly chewed up bread. Swallow the bread now containing the tablet, you will not even know it’s there. Maybe use low carb bread? Worked every time for me when young.
If you think there might be a physical problem with your throat do ask for it to be checked out, are your tonsils swollen? Could a family member look with a torch?
