I've been using Cepacol Extra Strength Lozenges for a few days now to deal with a persistent sore throat. I've noticed some tingling in my mouth, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced more severe side effects like severe mouth pain. The packaging lists some serious warning signs, and I want to make sure I'm not missing anything crucial. Has anyone had any severe reactions or noticed anything unusual? Also, what should I do if I experience symptoms lasting more than two days? Thanks for sharing your experiences!

I've been using Phenaseptic 1.4% Spray Cherry for my sore throat, but I'm not sure if it's worth the potential side effects. The spray does numb the pain quickly, but I'm concerned about the severe allergic reactions and other side effects. Has anyone else had any issues, or have you found it safe and effective? I'd love to hear your experiences and opinions before I decide to continue using it or switch to something else.

I've been using Sore Throat 15mg/3.6mg Lozenges 18s for the past week, and I'm curious about other's experiences. These lozenges contain benzocaine for pain relief and menthol for a cooling sensation. They've worked well for minor sore throat pain and irritation. Has anyone else tried them and how well did they work? Also, are the side effects as rare as the package says? I've heard some scary stories, including signs of methemoglobinemia. Let's discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly.
