Years and years ago, I read of a doctor whose daughter had a red sore throat. He gave her a zinc pill, but she didn’t want to swallow it. So she just let it melt in her mouth. In the morning her throat was fine. So the doc is the one who started the lozenge idea.
As soon as I have the slightest feeling of a sore throat or swollen glands coming on, I take zinc lozenges -— one every few hours. In a short time, I am fine.
Yup
