Whether you are battling seasonal flu or you are prone to developing recurring tonsillitis - you know how a sore throat can stop you feeling at your best and interfere with everyday life.
Discover our selection of high-quality medicines for a sore throat and make sure you are in your best health from season to season.
Why Does Sore Throat Happen?
A sore throat is an unpleasant feeling of dryness and pain in your throat area. Depending on the exact location of the pain, it can be tonsillitis, pharyngitis or laryngitis.
The feeling of a sore throat can be caused by infections or dry air and other environmental factors. Throat infections often require a treatment to get rid of the harmful bacteria and alleviate the pain.
Medicine For Sore Throat
Sore throat medicines contain a variety of antibacterial agents as well as natural extracts that are used to treat pathogenic microorganisms. The medicines in our range come in different forms: sprays, rinses, lozenges and elixirs.
We also offer sore throat medicines that are designed specifically for kids - shaped like lollipops and featuring popular flavours - they help children alleviate symptoms of a sore throat.
With sore throat medicines, like with any other medications, it is important to remember to use them as advised, after consulting your healthcare professional and deciding on a preferred treatment option.
Helpful tips
There are a few things that you can do to make sure your treatment is as effective as possible, and you bounce back from sickness quickly:
- Seek professional help. While sore throat is a common symptom of many regular seasonal infections, seeking advice from a medical professional is recommended so they can advise on the best course of treatment.
- Keep up your fluid intake. Sore throat medicines are great for killing the bacteria in your throat and alleviating the pain. When you're unwell with any illness or infection, it's always suggested to stay hydrated to help your body recover.
- Consider what foods you eat. Try to avoid anything that's difficult to swallow as it could irritate your throat. Warm soup can be a good way to pack in nutrition without aggravating your throat. Occasional portions of ice cream can provide a cooling, soothing effect too.
