Sore Throat is one of the common symptoms of COVID.
How to manage Sore Throat during COVID?
Gargling with Hexetidine (Bactidol) has been tested to decrease viral load in as early as 30 seconds exposure (Source: Tiong et al., 2021). Bactidol helps kill sore throat causing viruses including COVID.
For out of home sore throat protection, antiseptic lozenges such as dichlorobenzyl alcohol and amylmetacresol (Bactidol Extra Soothing) also works against viruses such as coronavirus (Source: BMJ, 2020).
