I had the same same problem with my now 8 year old (who by the way now takes two pills at the same time).  I used crushed ice pieces that were a little larger than the pills he was taking.  It worked because he knew that the ice would melt if it got stuck.  once he saw he could swallow the crushed ice pieces (without them getting stuck) the fear was gone and he was willing to try the pills.  good luck.
