Sore throats are uncomfortable conditions caused by bacteria and viruses, often impacting the thin membrane that lines your throat and can result in pain, inflammation, and redness when swallowing swollen glands. Blocked noses can worsen these symptoms by forcing you to breathe through your mouth instead of your nose, dehydrating the throat even further while producing thick mucus that further irritates it.
To treat a sore throat, medication that reduces pain and inflammation is usually the best solution. This may involve local anesthetics; however, certain medicines also have antiseptic properties, which help clean out your throat more effectively. These remedies may come in tablets, lozenges, or spray form.
Lozenges offer many advantages over sprays; one such is how slowly they dissolve in your mouth, providing direct medication delivery directly to the affected area. There may be evidence to support that tablets are more effective; however, this has yet to be scientifically demonstrated.
Strepsils are composed of two main ingredients – 2,4-dichlorobenzene alcohol has a decisive antiseptic action to eliminate bacteria, while levomenthol serves as a mild anesthetic that soothes throat soreness while relieving pain quickly – one being quickly absorbed by your throat within five minutes and continuing its work even after taking away from its lozenge form.
Clinical studies demonstrated that medication could significantly decrease throat soreness and cough pain for up to 2 hours of relief, offering substantially more than non-medicated throat sweets. It should be noted, however, that this solution doesn’t treat the underlying issue but only serves to relieve symptoms for as short a timeframe as necessary.
