Crushing medicine

I am on a few pills that I need to take crushed. Is it better to mix with water or just crush and swallow? I am day 2 post op. I mixed with water tonight and now I feel very bloated.

How long do we have to continue to crush them? 1 month? 3? Forever?

I had to crush mine for only 4 weeks.

I crushed or opened mind, put it in a spoon, kind of pour it back in my mouth as far as I could, and then got a sip of water or juice. It was easier that way for me. I tried mixing it and a few other thing and the meds kept sticking inside my mouth. Eck. :wacko:
