Strepsils 1.2/0.6 MG Tablet 8

• Sore throat: A sore throat is a symptom that refers to pain, irritation, or scratchiness in the throat. It can also feel dry and raw. Sore throats are usually caused by inflammation or irritation resulting from viral or bacterial infections such as the common cold, flu, strep throat, allergies, dry air, or smoking. Symptoms may also include difficulty swallowing, swollen glands in the neck, hoarseness, or fever. Strepsils soothe the throat and provide temporary relief from sore throat.
• Mouth ulcers: Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small, painful sores that can develop inside the mouth, including the lips, cheeks, tongue, and gums. Strepsils may provide some temporary relief from mouth ulcers.
• Tonsillitis: Tonsillitis is a condition where the tonsils become inflamed and swollen due to a viral or bacterial infection. Strepsils can help to provide temporary relief from the sore throat pain associated with tonsillitis. 
• Pharyngitis: Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the pharynx, which is the back of the throat between the tonsils and the larynx or voice box. It is a common condition that can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection or exposure to irritants like pollution or cigarette smoke. Strepsils can relieve the sore throat pain and discomfort associated with pharyngitis.
