 |
|
I have a wicked sore throat that ibuprofen isn't doing much to help. I think it's due to allergies and irritation from sinus drainage. The last time I asked for throat lozenges at a pharmacy, I ended up with some horrible chalky wafer-like things that did nothing to help my sore throat. I know I can get Halls cough drops here, but I would love to find some of the throat lozenges that also contain something to numb the pain. If those aren't available, I would take an anesthetic throat spray like Chloraseptic. Any ideas? My throat hurts.  |

The red door black market store in Itaewon used to have some. Not sure they still do, but they had it. It's a tiny place. See here:

| Warm up some vinegar and dissolve a teaspoon of honey in it. Take a sip, gargle for 15 seconds, and swallow until you're out. In my experience this works even better than prescription sore throat sprays. Good luck. Sore throats are a bitch. |

Yeah, I still have some of those chalky ones. 
Ask for Propolis (ㅍ로 폴 릿); lozenges. Those are the best I've found here. You probably would want some spray as well, most pharmacies here have one or two types (can't recall names.) Best of luck. |

| I've seen Fisherman's Friend at a couple stores in Itaewon. That convenience store across from the Hamilton Hotel has them. |

| FYI, I checked at The Red Door in Itaewon today, and they didn't have any. Sorry. |
