Let’s look at practical tips for managing sore throats on a busy schedule, and how Chloralieve lozenges can support you when time is short and relief is needed fast.

Why Sore Throats Are So Common

Common symptoms include¹:

Painful throat, especially when swallowing
Dry, scratchy throat
Redness in the back of your throat
Bad breath
