Cough Syrup
If you are only suffering from a sore throat and not other cold symptoms, cough syrup might not be the obvious choice for soothing a sore throat. However, they can be very effective in treating a painful and irritating (and irritated) sore throat. Some of these products can coat the throat and lead to the relief of symptoms.
Before choosing a cough syrup, make sure to read the box and take a minute to think about which one would be best for your situation. For instance, if you have an important presentation to give at work it might not be the best idea to use a cough syrup that will cause you to be drowsy, although these are of course a better option when you are making an attempt to get a good night’s rest. Therefore, make sure to choose one that explicitly states that it is non-drowsy.
