Throat Lozenges
for Sore Throat
Medicated throat lozenges containing benzocaine, menthol, or antiseptic ingredients to temporarily numb and soothe the throat.
How it works
Anaesthetic lozenges (benzocaine) temporarily block pain signals from throat nerve endings. Menthol lozenges activate cold receptors providing a cooling sensation that reduces pain perception.
What to watch for
Symptomatic relief only — does not treat the underlying cause. Benzocaine lozenges should not be used in children under 2. Seek medical attention if throat is severely swollen or painful.
