For Sore Throat "I've been using this phenol gargle for my really sore throat and it helps a bit. I can still feel the pain though. I don't know what's wrong with my throat. This is pretty helpful even if it only helps a bit. I've used it before and it works well with dry coughing."

Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray (phenol) for Tonsillitis/Pharyngitis "I have tonsillitis, nothing worked. I tried difflam spray, lozenges. Nothing worked. I finally got some Chloraseptic spray. It worked in 20 seconds! I don’t feel pain when I swallow and I’m able to eat and drink now!"

For Sore Throat "I use this stuff when I get a throat infection. (4 times a year like clockwork). I spray 4-8 times and gargle until it absorbs into the back of the throat. Lasts about an hour or two if used for pain relief, but the real good effects are it stops the throat infection from getting worse (for me anyways). My throat infections almost always turn into ulcers, but if I use this day one before they start to become pustules that rupture, it just doesn't become pustular and the overall infection is easier to deal with. It can be extremely rough on the stomach if ingested. Though I've been taking it for so long it doesn't bother me anymore."

Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray (phenol) for Sore Throat "I was in the grocery store, rather in agony after having oral surgery four days before. The site had healed nicely, but the other teeth and jaw on that side were so painful. I had pain medicine, but when you take pain pills you're medicating your entire body for pain that is only in one area. I saw this and remembered that my dad used it. He was a pastor, and the sermons could make his throat sore. He sprayed with this beforehand. I tried this, did the spray, wait 30 seconds, and then I had INSTANT relief. Oh my word, so great. In the middle of the night, this is a godsend. I'm so glad this product exists. Also, this is not from my experience but from someone else I knew, that it's great to spray on the skin if you have dialysis or chemo. Spray it on the injection site before the treatment and it really cuts down on IV pain. I hope they never stop making this. It's wonderful."

Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray (phenol) for Tonsillitis/Pharyngitis "I was silly enough not to read the ingredients before purchasing online. I needed lido or benzocaine and it contained phenol. It did very little for the pain from canker sores."
