Val and others,

This technique of coating the pill in oil and placing it way back on
the tongue also works for my four-year-old son. Are any of you
concerned that your child could choke on the pill by giving it this
way, or are you all confident that the capsule will always go down
okay? I'd appreciate your thoughts--I get a little anxious(as does
he) every time I give him one.
