Question 1

what are the side effects of chloraseptic oral anesthetic sore throat spray?

Accepted Answer

Allergic reactions: Chloraseptic spray is an oral anesthetic and analgesic combination. It works by numbing the painful or irritated areas i would not use it 
if you are allergic to any ingredient in chloraseptic spray or you have a history of allergic reaction to local anesthetics (eg, benzocaine). If you are pregnant , plan to become pregnant  or breast-feeding i would consult your doctor.

Question 2

i'm gonna give my 14 y/o daughter chloraseptic for sore throat but the box says that you are supposed to spit it out sooo... how she's gonna spit out something in her throat?  i'm a little confused

Accepted Answer

: Gargle and spit. Not much more to it.

Question 3

what's best for a sore throat at home? i read chloroseptic?

Accepted Answer

Lotsa Options: Yeah, chloroseptic is OK. Tastes kinds weird and doesn't last all that long. Also avoid potential irritants like salt, citrus, hot peppers, and the like. And try cold, like frozen yogurt or ice cream/ice milk/ice chips and soft foods, nothing with sharp edges (like Cap'n Crunch or sea urchins). If it starts feeling like you're swallowing razor blades, and you spike a fever go see a doctor

Question 4

i've been using chloraseptic for my soar throat and i get random etg tested. will the phenol in the chloraseptic test falsely for alcohol?

Accepted Answer

It should: Be fine, don't blast it just prior but the amount that eners your bloodstream should not b significant.

Question 5

i was wondering if drinking alcohol effects a sore throat?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Alcohol can irritate the throat - especially if you are drinking a high proof without another beverage mixed in.

Question 6

hi i have found a lump on the side of my mouth. i thought it was just the effects of a sore throat but when lookin in the mirror notice the large lump?

Accepted Answer

Salivary duct stone: It could be a stone in the duct of submandibular salivary gland with consequent enlargement of the gland. Sucking on a slice of lemon may help dislodge the stone and reduce the lump.

Question 7

what are the side effects of the 2020 flu shot will it cause a fever sore throat scratchy throat??

Accepted Answer

Cold? COVID-19?: Flu shots (2020 or any other year) never cause such symptoms. Probably you caught a cold, or maybe COVID-19. Discuss with your doctor.

Question 8

dizziness, sore throat, fatigue.....side effects of quitting smoking [this is day 5!!!] or perimenopause, or both?

Accepted Answer

: Symptoms as described are certainly consistent with acquired COVID-19 and/or bacterial/viral  infection,  so get tested soon.   Perimenopause can also cause fatigue, but not the other symptoms.  Nicotine withdrawal can cause irritability, cravings , but the most likely cause remains COVID.

Question 9

can you please tell me if fatigue and foggy brain are serious side effects of penicillin. i am taking ospen for sore throat. thank you?

Accepted Answer

Side effects: These are not common side effects of penicillin but if you experience them every time you're on penicillin, it apparently affects you that way. Some patients are more intolerant of any medication than other patients.

Question 10

my sore throat is basically gone but i can barely open my mouth my teeth hurt really bad. could this be lingering effects of mono or from not eating?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: You can try gently stretching your mouth open 3x per day and if you see no improvement, see a dentist with training in how to diagnose tmd.
