I just found out that the Albendazole 400mg tablets I've been taking are supposed to be chewed, but I've been swallowing them whole. I'm on a 3-day treatment and have already done 2 daysdo you think swallowing them instead of chewing will affect how well they work? The doctor didn't mention this, but I read it on the back of the package.

I'm really concerned because I've had this dry cough for about a week now, and for the last three days, the hiccups just won't stop. I've tried some medicines and home remedies, but nothing seems to be working. Any idea what's going on or how I can get rid of these hiccups? I'm feeling a bit worried.
