| LisaDo's Full Review: Vicks Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray |
I have been plagued with sinus infections this winter season. Sore throat, stuffy head, pressure, ear aches and so on. My throat has been killing me lately. My husband went to the store and picked up some Vicks Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray for me. I usually try to have a bottle on hand, since you never know when someone will not feel good, but I guess last time we ran out we didn't buy more.
The Vicks Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray that my husband picked up was a 6 fl oz bottle. The bottle is clear, showing the red liquid inside. It comes in a box, which we always toss as soon as it's opened. The top of the bottle has a spray nozzle with a clear plastic cap covering it, and it should be safety sealed when you first get it. In theory, it is cherry flavored.
To use, you simply pop off the plastic cap and spray the liquid into the back of your throat. My sore throat was instantly gone! My tongue was also a tad numb, which makes for a weird feeling. The taste, however, about made me gag. It says it's "cherry", but I don't think so. Nasty! And the after taste hangs with you. After a few drinks of Coke, however, the nasty taste was mostly gone. I do believe this is part of the reason that the relief isn't very long lasting for me, but I can't stand that after-taste. I get about 30 minutes, or so, of relief.
All in all Vicks Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray is a good product. When your throat is sore due to illness, or if you have had dental work done according to the bottle, it's nice to have on hand. You don't have to sit and suck on a lozenge for relief. Spray and the pain is gone!
