If i can't swollow my zithromax 500mg tablets can icrush them up an put them in milk?

Yes: Medicines can be swallowed if you put you head down to your neck and this technique prevents choking. Putting you head back, opens the windpipe and causes panic and choking. If you swallow potato chips then a pill should be fine.
