There is no scintifi: There is no scientific proof that cayenne pepper.Primary active compound in cayenne pepper is capsaicin and it is believed to have pain relieving qualities.It may help decrease the pain of sore throat through its ability to hinder transmission of pain signals.But it dees not kill bacteria or viruses. You can use it every 4to6 hours for pain relief if it is helpful.
