It has been decided that the pseudoephedrine/triprolidine combination is not good for this Yay at all. It only really wore off this afternoon. As it's meant to be taken 3x daily and I took a single tablet yesterday at 6pm I suspect it's another thing for me to avoid. My boss says I must have a screwed metabolism. Ah well. As long as I can still eat chocolate...
So anyway, I've moved on to lozenges. Have tried three different ones this afternoon.
1) A "natural defence" lozenge which was supposed to be taken at the first sign of a cold and contained echinacea, zinc and... vitamin c (not much). Well I just tried it because it was in the drawer of samples. It tasted terrible, had a very odd texture and was not soothing at all.
2) An anti-inflammatory/antibacterial lemon/honey lozenge. This one was ok. Didn't taste GREAT. And it did do something. But the taste would put me off further trials. This one was also out of the sample drawer so that's ok that I didn't like it.
3) An antibacterial lemon/honey one. I'd had these before and knew they were bearable but hadn't had them for ages so wasn't sure that it really was better than lozenge 2. However it was. Which was good as I'd bought a packet of them. Apologies for the grammar mess with singluars and plurals in this paragraph. I'll blame the evil combination product.
Having said that, I am not sure that lozenges are particularly useful for sore throats anyway - throats are usually sore at the back but it's almost impossible to keep a lozenge in that area. Ah well 30% placebo effect.
