Help please? what is the best numbing medication for a severely sore throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Magic Mouthwash: You can get a prescription from your doctor for 'magic mouthwash' which has lidocaine. OTC meds work OK - generally chloroseptic spray, ibuprofen, honey/tea. Might need to be checked for infection?
