Child learning to swallow pills?

How about her practicing swallowing a small pill with something like applesauce? Then very slowly thin the apple sauce with water til she gets the hang of it.

I still have problems and I am 27! I was also in high school before I could get anything down. Now I am only able to get big pills (my allergy meds are HUGE) down with a gulp of water. Not enough water, I gag it right back up.
