I've been using Sore Throat 1.4% Spray Cherry for the past few days to numb the pain from a severe sore throat. The spray does provide temporary relief, but I'm curious if it's really killing the germs, or just making the throat feel less sensitive? The product description mentions that it has phenol, which kills germs. Does anyone confirm that the spray actually treats the infection, or does it just provide symptom relief? Any insights or experiences are appreciated! The spray also mentions possible side effects like rash, hives, or swelling. Has anyone experienced any of these? How did you deal with it? What steps did you take?
