Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

At least close your mouth first, unless you like spilling drink+pills everywhere.
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.
Definitely not implied. I thought your entire point was keeping the head tilted back.
Good 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"
They're talking about a way to prevent aspiration with dysphagia by tilting the chin down to the chest.
