There are a lot of tips and tricks that people have discovered over the years to help make swallowing pills much easier. For example, you can teach your grandmother about the pop-bottle method. If your grandmother is still having trouble taking her medicine, try putting her medication in food that is easy to swallow so that the texture can help her swallow them. Aside from this, you can also grind her medication and place it in her food. However, before you do this, make sure that you discuss these methods with her doctor to know if it will affect the effects of her medication.
