empty_920_615
A sore throat can be uncomfortable and frustrating, making eating, drinking, and even talking difficult. Whether caused by a cold, flu, or infection, there are simple ways to soothe the pain at home.

Top Tips for Throat Relief:

  • Painkillers: Over-the-counter options like paracetamol can help ease discomfort.
  • Boots also stocks a range of medicated throat sprays and lozenges with painkilling and antibacterial ingredients to help the healing process. There is also a selection of natural relief options such as menthol lozenges.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of cold or lukewarm non-alcoholic fluids to keep the throat moist.
  • Eat with care: Soft, cool foods are best, while hot drinks and spicy foods might make things worse and irritate an already painful throat.
  • Saltwater gargle: Adults can try gargling warm, salty water to reduce irritation.

Most sore throats clear up within a week, but if symptoms persist or become severe, a GP should be consulted. For effective relief, visit Boots Carrickmines Park to get advice from our Pharmacists instore who can direct you to finding the right treatment. Drop in today and get back to feeling great!
