Cough and cold are common ailments among a large chunk of the population. Though there is nothing to worry about, the disease causes discomfort due to a sore throat, constant coughing, and interrupted breathing due to a blocked nose. There is a common notion that harmful microorganisms invading your body cause these discomforting symptoms.
However, in reality, it is our immune system reacting to microorganisms like viruses. Sometimes, you suffer from these symptoms due to smoking, breathing with an open mouth at night, pollen allergy, etc. In simple terms, sore throat, congestion, nasal discharge, etc., result from your immune response fighting off any harmful pathogen.
Soreness causes extreme irritation and an itchy sensation in your throat. If you have a severe throat ache, you may experience difficulty in swallowing even your saliva. Usually, people resort to home remedies like drinking hot water, doing salt-water gargles, taking tablets, etc.
For a severe sore throat, you may require a stronger agent like Megacidin. It is a throat spray that plays an instrumental role in boosting your immunity and curing your sore throat. Here is some information on how a throat spray affects your immune system –
What is a Throat Spray?
As the name suggests, a throat spray is directly sprayed into your throat or mouth to provide a localized action on the inflamed areas. The package labeling of your throat spray provides the duration you need to keep the medication in your mouth.
After the specified duration, you need to spit out the excess medication instead of swallowing it. However, accidental consumption of a small amount of this medication is entirely safe. Hence, if you do swallow it, there is nothing to worry about. But it would help if you didn’t swallow it every time, or it may affect your internal organs.
Throat sprays have certain characteristic ingredients that provide you with a soothing effect and relief from the sore throat. These ingredients include phenol, glycerine or benzocaine, etc.
Phenol is a common ingredient found in throat sprays, usually accompanied by other cooling agents like menthol. It is the predominant ingredient in Chloraseptic throat sprays.
Glycerine primarily acts as a demulcent, i.e., substance relieving from irritation or inflammation. This ingredient coats your throat; thus, countering irritation. Apart from acting as a sweetening agent, glycerine is used in many throat spray brands. Benzocaine is another ingredient found mainly in sprays rather than cough drops. However, very few throat sprays contain this ingredient in smaller quantities to treat sore throat and inflammation.
Conditions in Which the Spray is Used
A throat spray is conventionally used to numb your neck and throat before any surgical procedure such as intubation. It is also effective to get temporary relief from pain or minor mouth or throat conditions. These conditions comprise sore throat, canker sores, mouth or gum injury, basic dental procedures, etc.
Viral infections such as cold or flu cause a sore throat. This sore throat creates an itchy, scratchy and painful situation making it difficult for you to swallow. In such cases, when you use a throat spray, it provides a numbing effect within seconds. This numbing effect helps you go about your daily activities as usual.

The Might of the Spray
You tend to underestimate the power of a throat spray because of how instantly it numbs your throat. However, this useful medication has more up its sleeve that meets the eye. Conventional medicine, like Megacidin, plays a pivotal role in treating throat irritation caused by several underlying reasons. These reasons include inflammation of the pharynx, tonsillitis, irritative cough, etc. It not only numbs but also forms a protective layer over your throat, thus, preventing further irritation and pain. A throat spray also contains certain natural extracts. These extracts also form a protective film over your throat, preventing burning sensation, pain, or increased sensitivity around the affected area.
People living in the urban setting are regularly exposed to irritants and harmful external agents like smoke, dust, smog, fumes, etc. A throat spray acts as a useful tool in safeguarding your throat from these pollutants. It also reduces your throat’s exposure to such agents while hydrating and soothing the mucous layer of your throat.
A throat spray is a useful medication for providing instant relief from painful throat sores and itching. It may also help you swallow your food by reducing the pain accompanying it. While a throat spray is useful for people susceptible to harmful external agents, you may want to get a doctor’s opinion about the right dosage and ingredients.
