Pretty sure tilting the head down is implied in my personal swallowing process. I’m not sure I can actually swallow anything with my chin up.

minus-squareMachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down7·22 days agoGood for you. Only reason to tilt the head back is to not spill. Closing the mouth fixes that. This is “pill taking recommendations”, not “re-thinking swallowing-in-general 101”
