Pill Swallowing Support
Learning to swallow tablets can be difficult for children to learn but is important in helping them gain confidence and independence in managing their CF. Teaching pill swallowing works best when using a calm and positive approach. Every child learns at a different pace, so patience and positive reinforcement are important.
Our Pill Swallowing factsheet has more information about pill swallowing techniques. The Royal Children’s Hospital also have a helpful video explaining different techniques to try.
