SORE throat is one of the most common health complaints at visits to family physicians.
Sore throat, or pharyngitis, is discomfort, pain, itchiness, or irritation of the throat. You may have difficulty in swallowing food and liquids and it may prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep. It also affects your productivity at work and home.
Viruses and bacteria are two common causes of sore throats. Sore throats are often the first sign of a cold and other causes may include smoking,pollution or irritants in the air, allergies, dry air or acid reflux.
When natural home remedies ― such as honey, gargling with warm salt water or apple cider vinegar, drinking chamomile tea, ginger tea or fenugreek tea ― are not helpful to soothe the pain and irritation, there are several over-the-counter (OTC) treatment options like lozenges that can also provide relief.
Lozenges for sore throats contain different types of ingredients including local anaesthetics and antiseptics, which act directly where your throat is sore, and by sucking the lozenge and slowly let it melt in mouth will help relieving your symptoms.
When experiencing a sore throat, try DifflamAB for dry, tickly and itchy sore throats, or Difflam HEXTRA for painful stabbing sore throats. Both are available over the counter at pharmacies.
DifflamAB contains two antiseptic ingredients for symptomatic relief of mouth and throat infections. Available in the crowd-pleasing flavour of honey lemon. You need to suck one lozenge every two to three hours to improve your condition.
Difflam HEXTRA, available in purple grape flavour, contains an antiseptic and a local anaesthetic for the relief of sore throats and its associated pain that is sharp and stabbing that feels like razor blades, barbwire or shards of glass. Suck on one lozenge every three hours, or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, you are required to get good rest, drink plenty of water ― or warm water with honey and lemon ― and non-alcoholic fluids, as well as avoid smoking and exposure to cigarette smoke.
Available in 12-lozenges per pack, both DifflamAB and Difflam HEXTRA is suitable for adults and children aged six years and above.
Understanding sore throat
The symptoms of a sore throat can vary and depends on the cause. Signs and symptoms may include pain or a scratchy sensation in the throat; pain that worsens with talking or swallowing; a hoarse or muffled voice.
Although anyone can suffer from sore throat, there are some factors that make you more prone to it, including age, exposure to tobacco smoke and chemical irritants, allergic reactions to dust, mould or pet dander, close quarters with people having viral or bacterial infection, as well as low immunity.
DifflamAB and Difflam HEXTRA aims to help those affected by sore throat and seek for treatment that delivers a fast and effective solution, allowing them to perform at their best at any important routine.
