10 Home Remedies For Laryngitis
Home Remedy #10: Throat Lozenges
It was traditional to use candies to treat sore throat. For instance, the Egyptians made honey flavored candies with citrus and used them in 1000 BC. Throat lozenges, cough drops, troche, or cough sweets are used in a similar manner. These small tablets dissolve slowly in the mouth with the aim of inhibiting the cough and soothing the irritated larynx.
Sucking on throat lozenges helps to lubricate the tissues of the throat, which relieves the congestion that results from sore throats. Throat lozenges may contain benzocaine, eucalyptus oil, zinc gluconate, glycine, or pectin. You can also get honey and menthol lozenges, which can be helpful.
