    Not to make light of things, but the first thought that came to my head for counteracting bad tasting medicine is a spoonful of sugar.

      It’s been so long since I’ve seen that that I completely forgot how dated the editing was. I think as a kid I thought they used actual magic in that movie.

      Unfortunately as I remember the one time I was given the med in liquid form, it tasted very similar to watered down bleach, which I’m not too sure sugar has the power to conceal. Not that I can’t handle it, just kinda hoped I wouldn’t have to handle it. It’s better than choking on the pills though.

      I hate being all negative though, so I’ll just say that I’m really impressed by the sheer amount of options that exist for people who can’t swallow pills. When I developed my throat issues I didn’t even have to stop any meds, just got switched over to smaller or dissolvable options. I thought I was just fucked at that point, but it turns out it was a pretty easy transition.
