A member asked:

Can bacteria get resistance to antiseptic lozenges for sore throat? for how long these lozenges can be used safely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bacteria laughing!: Bacteria are laughing! do "antiseptic" lozenges kill bacteria? Only in the mind of the food and pharmaceutical industry. Moreover – sore throat is more often caused by the viruses, not by the bacteria. Another misconception promoted by the pharmaceutical industry.
