Infections such as pharyngitis and laryngitis are caused by bacteria invading through the mouth or nose when the body's resistance is weakened due to overwork, lack of sleep, and other factors. These infections lead to symptoms such as inflammation, pain, and swelling of the throat.
Recently, due to factors like dry air and exhaust gases, more people are experiencing inflammation in the throat, resulting in symptoms such as throat roughness and hoarseness.
Throat lozenges help alleviate throat pain and swelling, relieving discomfort. Additionally, their antibacterial and disinfectant properties prevent bacterial invasion.
Since these lozenges dissolve slowly in the mouth without chewing, they provide a long-lasting effect. They are designed with holes for easy use.
