Barb's Medical Minute

Do you ever have trouble swallowing your pills? Harvard researchers found that tilting your head back actually can make it harder for you to swallow that pill. A better way…tilt your head forward with your chin on your chest. It’s a more natural position that relaxes your throat and makes it easier for the pill to go down. Now this is something I can swallow!

Available in the Welcome Center: A paper listing the differences between symptoms of a Cold, Flu, & Covid.

Please keep the following people in your prayers:
