Strefen Honey and Lemon Lozenges
Strefen Lozenges are a form of treatment that is intended to treat a sore throat and reduce pains in the throat. The active ingredient of these lozenges is flurbiprofn, a drug that belongs to a group called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs work by changing the body’s response to pain, swelling and body temperature.
What causes a sore throat?
A sore throat is generally only a short-term condition and only last for a week. There are a number of causes of a sore throat, which include:
– A cold or the flu
– Laryngitis (a condition where the voice box becomes inflamed)
– Tonsillitis (inflammation of the tonsils)
– Glandular fever
– Smoking
– Heartburn/acid reflux
– Allergies
In most cases, one of these conditions will be the cause of a sore throat but if a sore throat persists for a longer period of time, then it could be a sign of a more serious condition.
