apply to affected area (one spray); gargle, swish around in the mouth, or allow to remain in place at least 1 minute then spit out. Use up to 4 times daily or as directed by a doctor.

If at-home remedies don't help, another line of treatment is over-the-counter medication. Mucinex® products within the Fast-Max®, Sinus-Max® and Children's Mucinex® lines will help relieve sore throat pain and additional symptoms including cough, chest congestion and nasal congestion.

For sore throat and mouth pain: For oromucosal dosage form (spray): Adults and children 3 years of age and older - One spray to the affected area every 2 hours or as directed by a doctor or dentist.

Mucinex can cause mild to moderate side effects in some people. This can include digestive symptoms, dizziness, and drowsiness.

This medication is used for the temporary relief of coughs caused by the common cold, bronchitis, and other breathing illnesses. This product is usually not used for ongoing cough from smoking or long-term breathing problems (such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema) unless directed by your doctor.

The anaesthetic used in throat sprays (usually benzocaine) works by blocking the pain pathway and not only soothes the area but numbs it too, so you can't feel it anymore. The tissue absorbs the liquid instantly, providing quick and effective relief.

In small doses, sore throat spray is harmless. In excess, it can be dangerous, so make sure that you follow the directions on the package.

Mucinex is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth. Mucinex is used to reduce chest congestion caused by the common cold, infections, or allergies.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) acts indirectly on the gastrointestinal vagal nerves which triggers reflex secretion from submucosal glands and goblet cells, increasing the water content of mucus, making it easier for it to be coughed out.

Several Mucinex® products contain acetaminophen, which is an analgesic and fever reducer. “Analgesic” is a fancy way of saying “pain reliever.” Acetaminophen should help bring your fever down, as well as relieve minor aches and pains, headache and sore throat.
