sore throat medicine

According to doctors, the best sore throat medicine has ingredients in it to help soothe and sometimes slightly numb that itchy, tender feeling. Sore throat medicine won't actually help you get better faster. But it can help you feel more comfortable until the viral infection, bacterial infection, or allergy irritant passes.

Be sure to call your doc if you're still using sore throat remedies after 48 hours. The products could downplay the severity of whatever bacteria or viral infection you have – a cold, flu, COVID-19, or another virus.

With COVID and cold and flu being part of our norm now, we have compiled a list of the best doctor-recommended medicines for throat-soothing products, including ones for quick relief, all-natural products, and some for kids.
