Some people cannot physically swallow tablets as they have a bad gag-reflex and so they can't swallow solid objects.
Younger children or anyone who haven't taken tablets before might become afraid that they can't do it but they have to learn soon in life as they will be using them as they grow older.

∙ 14y agoI too cannot swallow tablets, and unlike the person who commented before, some people just never learn to do it. As an example my sister is 45 and she cannot swallow any types of tablets. It feels as though something in your mouth automatically stops you from doing it; is this the same for you?? Although it is not a problem as lots of pills come in powder or liquid solutions too that work just as good. For some people swallowing tablets comes to them easily, for others it just doesn't come at all. I hope this helps you feel a little better :)
