Throat Lozenges
It likely won’t surprise you to learn that throat lozenges made our list as they are of course intended to soothe sore throats. They work by lubricating the throat, which can lead to relief and the soothing of an irritated throat.
Throat lozenges have also been found to help with coughs so if you happen to be experiencing both a sore throat and a cough they might help you out in ways you would not expect. The main ingredients in lozenges that can help relieve sore throat symptoms are often bezocaine, pectin, zinc gluconate glycine, menthol, or eucalyptus oil. However, although they can provide relief, they do not do anything to relieve the potential underlying infection.
