A member asked:
Is there a hidden risk in gargling too much with listerine? it seems to help with sore throat. i use it as preventive measure frequently.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What is frequently ?: Twice a day or twenty times per day? Excessive alcohol contact on the oral soft tissues can cause problems. Use the product as directed. Also, do you smoke?
