THROAT AID TABLETS-45TABS

A sore, irritating throat is often the first sign that indicates one is getting sick, along with pain while swallowing, eating and even talking. Throat is one of the most exposed parts of the body to infections, as viruses and bacteria often settle in this part of the body. Any triggering factor ranging from inhalation of micro-organsim in dust or air to food items (cold & sour things) can lead to affections of throat precipitating as Upper Respiratory Tract Infections. If not treated on time, it involves other neighbouring areas like pharynx, larynx & tonsils. It may even spread downwards to involve the lungs.

SYMPTOMS OF SORE THROAT

A sore throat may begin just as a dry, painful, irritating, itching in the throat with fever and congestion of the throat, which may cause post nasal dripping of mucus that often triggers cough.

Sore throat may also precipitate as:

• Pharyngitis
• Tonsillitis
• Laryngitis
