antibiotics

[Carrie07293]

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and got a bladder infection, I am the worst person for not being able to take tablets. They have gave me antibiotics that are only the size of capsule paracetamol but I am still struggling to take them..I don't know why just can't seem to swallow them..is there anything else I can do or the nurses can do to help me?

Oh I don't know, I believe my grandmother had it when she as on bed rest

Is that a drip?xx

I don't think they have antibiotics in liquid form only supplement and vitamins. I believe if it is a fluid they have to give it thru an I'V. :-/

Oh I got one.....mash potatoes, everyone likes mashpotatoes! And you can get the premade, they are usually in the meat section at the grocery store

What about pudding, cottage cheese, oatmeal :-/
Anything with a smooth texture would work. And concerning the cranberry juice just try drinking maybe 4 oz at a time. Or take it like a alcoholic shot and chase it! Lol. And drink water,  If you don't like water add a lemon and some honey (or sugar) to a cold glass of distilled water.

I know this is going to sound fussy but I don't like either applesauce or yogurt. The tablets smell aswel which makes it worse so every time I put it in my mouth it makes me gag and then I'm sick :(
I have cranberry juice the nurse told me to drink a glass a day but I don't like that either xx

I didn't mean utility lol typo I meant bladder or uti

Try putting it in applesauce or yogurt and swallowing it that way. Or you can even crush the pill then put  in the applesauce or yogurt. My cousin is 30 years old and she only takes her pills in applesauce ;-)
Also buy 100% cranberry juice ($8-12) and keep it on standby for the future. So if you feel a utility coming on you can prevent it!!!!!
