Hello! my roomie is having a sore throat and fever. we bought some lozenges but she swallowed one instead of sucking on it. what can we do?

Not a problem: When lozenges dissolved the mouth they wind up in the stomach. When you swallow it the lozenge dissolves in the stomach and is not a problem. Zinc lozenges are proven to help though other types will relieve symptoms. Also see if you can find Oral Health tincture from HerbPharm at a health food store and swish a dropperful in mouth (then swallow) every 2-3 hours. If it persists check for strep.
