Sore throat is a nuisance that can significantly spoil life. If you start treatment in time, the unpleasant sensations will disappear in a few hours or a couple of days, but in a neglected state a simple cold can provoke unpleasant complications, which will not be easy to get rid of. The treatment of a child’s sore throat is especially difficult: the child is naughty, refuses medication, and it is difficult to persuade him to be treated.

You can even buy simple candies in a regular grocery store: if they contain eucalyptus, mint or sage, they will have a short, but positive effect on a sore throat.
Lollipops: treating children
Initially, Vocasept lollipops (like other brands) were invented to make it easier to treat sore throats in young children, capricious and naughty - that is, those who do not allow themselves to be treated with bitter, tasteless drugs. Sweets were developed as a method of eliminating the most unpleasant manifestations of infection. At the same time, it was not supposed that lollipops would become the main means of combating the disease. This is just a way to improve the condition and make the child more responsive to treatment. Many drugs contain mucosal coating components that soften tissues and reduce perspiration.
Any self-respecting manufacturer must necessarily put the instructions for use of the drug in the package for tablets. Before using sweets to treat a child, you need to familiarize yourself with these recommendations to make sure that the product is suitable in this particular case. Many children have allergic reactions, in addition, different candies can be used from different ages. You must first make sure that the tool is applicable, only then treat the baby.
There is no need to rush
Some throat lozenges are recommended only from 10 or even 12 years old, but most of the drugs on the market are suitable for use at the age of five. But candy is not recommended for younger children: the baby can choke if it tries to swallow a tasty candy. In order not to harm the child, even by accident, you need to carefully follow the instructions for use - the manufacturer indicates at what age you can use the tool provided by him. It is known that the fast and strong effect when used in childhood is shown by the Strepsils mentioned above, as well as the Faringosept tablets for resorption, they have a pleasant taste and are good against inflammation and cough.
Colds and candies
A cold is almost always accompanied by a sore throat. At the same time, mucous membranes affect inflammatory processes, tissues swell, and whitish deposits can be observed on the tonsils. There are quite a few drugs on sale, including tablets, but not everyone shows a good effect, and swallowing with a sore throat is difficult. But lozenges can eliminate unpleasant sensations, and also go well with other medicines, so the popularity of this category of drugs is growing from year to year.
In the general case, throat lozenges should be used at the beginning of the disease as one of the primary means of helping a cold person. It will not be superfluous to regularly absorb healthy sweets as a preventative measure during colds, they will help prevent infection and save you from a sore throat in advance. Tasty sweets cool, freshen breath, soften tissues and have a positive effect due to natural components, essential oils. With a quick positive effect and the elimination of severe pain, candies are quite cheap. They can be used for angina, when most of the medications show low efficiency.

You don’t need to drink them, you can take such sweets with you to a meeting, and put the child in a backpack, collecting it for school. With the help of sweets, you can get rid of perspiration, this prevents coughing attacks and effectively eliminates the accompanying symptoms.
Market news: from year to year something special
Every year, newer and more effective throat medicines appear on the market, they act faster, are more effective, and show strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. If five or ten years ago, on the shelves of pharmacies you could find only a few items, now this variety totals several dozen, and prices vary quite a lot. There are medicinal sweets with interesting additives: honey, herbal extracts, berry essences. At the same time, this is a real medicine, even if it tastes good, but is packed in a beautiful box. When choosing sweets for sore throat, you need to pay attention to the features of the drug you like. For example, antimicrobial candies are a rather difficult medicine. When using it, you must carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions, do not throw sweets without completing the course completely, and do not repeat the reception before the doctor advises. Uncontrolled use of antibiotics can cause side effects - from an upset digestive system to a serious allergic reaction.
Mostly antibacterial drugs are sold only with a prescription from a doctor, but still the buyer should be careful: the pharmacist can simply lose sight of the fact that a particular name belongs to the category of antibiotics. If the doctor advised using such a medication, he also explains the optimal pattern of use and gives recommendations for determining the effectiveness of the drug. Antibiotics are not suitable for combating viral pathologies, therefore, such candies, even if they do not seem to ordinary people as serious medicine, should not be taken just like that: you must first consult a doctor and take tests.
Herbs for the benefit of man
If antibiotics are not recommended by the attending physician, and the throat hurts, you need to refer to the options created with the use of herbal extracts. The most positive result is shown by sweets, which contain sage extract. They quickly return a healthy voice to a person, effectively remove perspiration and make breathing much more fresh. When taking sweets, the sore throat disappears, swelling subsides, the inflammation stops. The condition of the patient as a whole becomes much better.
Others believe that treating with sage sweets is grandma’s methods, folk recipes that can’t bring real benefits. This is a completely wrong mistake: numerous official trials have shown that sage really has a strong positive effect on the throat, normalizes the mucous membrane and improves the condition of the person, returns the voice.
Doctors recommend using sage lollipops for sore throats, any colds, viruses and infections that hit the throat. Sage extract has strong disinfecting properties, due to which sweets have no less powerful effect than tablets, but at the same time they have a pleasant taste and smell.Even better are those candies, in which, in addition to sage, honey is also present. This is a natural antibiotic that effectively relieves inflammation and destroys colonies of harmful microbes. True, such sweets can not be used if it is known that the patient is allergic to honey.
