That virus from 2020 is making the rounds again, and the sore throat can be BRUTAL. My pharmacist go-tos: • Ibuprofen for pain + inflammation • Nasal steroid to calm inflammation • Salt water gargle • Honey to coat the throat • Benzocaine lozenges to numb the pain • Liquid antacid + liquid Benadryl as a medicated gargle, then SPIT IT OUT Save this one for when your throat feels like sandpaper. #philsmypharmacist #healtheducation #virus #sorethroat
