SORE THROAT TREATMENT

How to treat a sore throat yourself^1,2

A pharmacist can help when you have a sore throat

You can ask a pharmacist about ways to relieve pain and discomfort in the throat, such as:

• lozenges containing a local anaesthetic, antiseptic or anti-inflammatory drug
• anaesthetic spray

You can buy these treatments in pharmacies without medical prescription.

Therapeutic options for the acute treatment of upper respiratory tract diseases (viral etiology):

• General treatment: bed rest at appropriate temperature (20-22◦C), adequate hydration
• Local symptomatic treatment

To relieve sore throat and shorten its duration, you can:

• Consume fluids to prevent your throat from drying out. This also helps prevent dehydration.
• Avoid smoking or areas with smoke
• Use a humidifier in your room

If you are sick, feel dizzy or anticipate that “something is taking over you”, use Faringosept.

And if you additionally need to moisturise the throat mucosa, you can also alternate Faringosept with FaringoNatur, which has a moisturizing, protective and refreshing effect.
