might be disgusting , but has anyone done this?

After reading the thread about swallowing sputum, i remembered a few times i had to swallow something i thought was just as disgusting. I'm sure a lot of us throw up after a coughing fit, well the other day i took my all of my medicines and shortly afterward i coughed a bit , and up came half my lunch and all my medicine with it in my mouth. I realized if i opened my mouth and let it out, i wouldnt get a full dose of any of my medicines since some of them had started to dissolve. So i felt forced to swallow it..... UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG . I have a feeling i cant be the only one who's had to do that<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

Sorry cant say I have done that. Once its up & in my mouth the taste, consistancy & overall experience would not allow me to swallow it again. I dont care if I wouldnt get a dose of something. UGGG....sorry making me sick thinking about it!

I prefer to take my pills with milk and I take all of them in one big handful and one swallow. When I take them with water I can't take as many in one swallow. Sometimes I forget and try and gag but I do what you are saying and hold my mouth shut and swallow hard. Of course, there's no food or bile in the mix. I don't know if I could hold back vomit. Wow!

I throw it up. Once I have more then sputum in my mouth, I can't help but throw it up.

I try to swallow it, if it happens. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn´t...

Lauren, what kind of pills do you take? Some, especially antibiotics should not be taken with milk...

My son Jesse has the amazing ability to stop himself from throwing up after coughing. It is truly facinating to watch. He is able to calm himself down even while he is obviously throwing up. He keeps his mouth shut so nothing comes out and shallows and breathes slow. Its an art form at this point.

I can't even believe I'm sharing this.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

I used to throw up a lot after coughing fits. One thing a found to help some once I was nausious was to swirl some ginger ale around in my mouth. Other kinds of soda will work too, but juice and water will make it worse.

I have had a little puke come up into my mouth, but not a whole lot, so I just swallow it with out thinking, its real quick reaction up then down it goes again. Sometimes when I cough during treatment and its after I've eaten, I feel myself wanting to throw up, and so when I get that feeling I make myself stop coughing until the feeling of throwing up goes away, and then I try not to cough as hard after that.

occasionally. But usually I can't take it and run to the sink and spit it out and start over again.
That happens to me alot b/c I also have reflux disease, so it always comes back up.

if your meds are in for 20 mins then they have been absorbed.
