Medication problem 3 weeks out
I went to the doc yesterday to find I have a bladder infection. Doc prescribed antibiotics and we went through and found a liquid I can take. Problem is, I'm not a person that tolerates liquid medications (I always throw up because of taste and/or texture)...at all. I haven't thrown it up yet, but it's not sitting pretty. I know we can crush pills or whatever, but it's the same sort of problem....taste will make be sick. Not sure what to do...:( Going to call into surgeons office, but they take forever to call me back, so I thought I'd ask for input.
*edited after* Capsules are okay, right? I seem to recall the surgeon saying that they dissolve so fast that it's okay to take...
I was taking pills right from the start. ;leaving hospital they gave me 2 large pain pills.

Are you unable to swallow pills? The ASMBS says it's OK to swallow them as soon as you can tolerate doing so. I was able to swallow pills easily just 12 hours after my surgery.

The only way to know if you can tolerate swallowing pills, I guess, is to try one and see. But many people are swallowing pills long before three weeks post op. I don't know why you wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
