Swallowing pills: Try taking a sip of any liquid, but keep it in your mouth (don't swallow yet). Tilt your head back and open your mouth. Drop the pill in and swallow. I find it works well. Good luck!

Apple sauce: Putting a pill in a spoonful of apple sauce is a classic way to help take pills. If this does not work, Percocet is normally a tab that can be broken into a couple smaller pieces and that may help as well. Hope that helps and best of luck!
