Ultra Chloraseptic Anaesthetic Throat Spray, 15 ml, Cherry Flavour, Fast Acting Relief for Sore Throat Pain

Product Information

A large randomised controlled trial published in April 2017 21 found that corticosteroids increased the proportion of patients with complete resolution of symptoms at 48 hours. However, corticosteroids did not seem to decrease the duration of moderately bad symptoms, pain severity, healthcare attendance, days missed from school or work, or the consumption of delayed antibiotics. This study adds to the body of evidence that suggests that, although corticosteroids probably have benefits in patients with sore throat, these benefits may be modest. 22 23 24 25 The Rapid Recommendations team felt that the study, when considered in context of the full body of evidence, might change practice. 26 When taking a lozenge, put it in your mouth and allow to dissolve slowly. Do not chew or swallow it whole. You can have 1 lozenge up to 3 times a day. What if I forget to use it? Acute sore throat is a self limiting disease and typically resolves after 7-10 days in adults and 2-7 days in children. 7 Most infections are of viral origin; only a few are caused by a bacterial infection, of which group A β-haemolytic streptococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis are the most common pathogens. Evidence suggests that the time to resolution is not associated with the type of pathogen. 7 About 2% of patients initially presenting with sore throat will have a mononucleosis infection caused by an Epstein-Barr virus, which could prolong the duration of symptoms. 8 Your symptoms may feel worse when you first wake up in the morning. Using throat spray at that time may be a good idea. Acute sore throat is defined as pain in the throat for less than 14 days. Acute sore throat could be caused by pharyngitis, nasopharyngitis, tonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess, or retropharyngeal abscess. Some patients with sore throat also experience headache, fever, muscle stiffness, cough, and general malaise.

If you experience difficulty breathing or develop swelling of the face, lips or tongue following use of Difflam Anti-inflammatory Throat Spray, seek emergency medical attention. References

Yes, a sore throat is one of the common symptoms of COVID-19. However, there are a lot of other illnesses, big and small, that cause a sore throat as well, including the common cold, the flu, strep throat, mono, GERD, as well as allergies, and dry air. If you're worried your sore throat is a sign of the coronavirus, the best way to confirm is to take a rapid COVID test or molecular lab test at a local facility or via an at-home COVID test. Hydration during illness is important, but you may also wish to avoid eating or drinking while your throat is numb. When should I use throat spray? Sore throat medicine won't kill the virus or bacteria causing your pain. But the best medicine for a sore throat will help provide temporary relief, particularly Chloraseptic spray, which helps numb your throat with just a few sprays in a matter of seconds. Corticosteroids increase the chance of complete resolution of pain at 24 and 48 hours, reduce the severity of pain, and shorten the time to onset of pain relief (GRADE high to moderate quality evidence)

In a clinical study in 24 patients with pharyngitis following tonsillectomy rinsing with Difflam 0.15% 5 times a day for 6 days significantly better and more rapidly relieved throat pain, difficulty in swallowing and improved clinical signs including hyperaemia and oedema versus placebo on day 7. Similar results were found in other studies in patients with tonsillitis or pharyngitis or following dental surgery. The gargling with 30 ml 0.075% benzydamine prior to the induction of anaesthesia in 58 adults undergoing general anaesthesia with endotracheal tube intubation significantly reduced postoperative sore throat versus water control for the first 24 hours whereas aspirin gargles reduced it for 4 hours.
