Difflam Spray

I hate getting a sore throat; the dry feeling, the inability to swallow properly, and the fact that talking makes it worse are all real irritations for me. Worst of course, when a severe sore throat strikes, is the pain. Feeling like I'm swallowing broken glass when I am, in fact, only eating a piece of toast is horrible! Until recently, my favourite remedy for a sore throat was Dequacaine lozenges. A recent nasty throat infection prompted a member of my family to get me something new; "Difflam Spray" (I'm not sure whether they took pity on me or were trying anything they could to stop my moaning)! Difflam spray comes in a 30ml bottle with ...  Read the complete review

It may appear as though I suffer from a barrage of ailments, by the kind of reviews I have written lately, but I can assure you, I am writing about the ones that have made a positive impact on my wellbeing. Before the aaaaccchhooooo season began, I was suffering from dry cough syndrome. I had been coughing to the point that the back of my throat had become inflamed. Once again, i made that infamous journey to the doctor's surgery where, after close inspection of my throat, I was prescribed Difflam Spray. I paid the prescription fee of £7.20 for this bizarre looking contraption. It came in a box, so its true bizarre identity remained hidden, until of course I ...  Read the complete review

I had had a sore throat for a couple of weeks and after putting off going to see anyone about it I finally decided that being so tired all the time from lack of sleep just wasn't worth it. I reluctantly dragged myself to the pharmacy and was thrilled when they gave me the Difflam Spray calling it 'the perfect solution!' To use the Difflam Spray all you had to do was aim the long tube at the sore parts of your throat and push down the plunger. For adults the recommended dose was 4-8 puffs every 1 ½ - 3 hours, children aged 6 - 12 had 4 puffs every 1 ½ - 3 hours and children under the age of 6 had 1 puffs for every 4 kilograms of body weight. I found it easily ...  Read the complete review

At the beginning of the year i started to suffer from a sore throat which was with me for what seemed like a lifetime. During the day it didnt seem to bother me too much but by the time my head hit the pillow at bedtime the irritating cough started. This went on for a few days and i was slowly becoming more and more tired. I had the usual cough sweets and medicines in but nothing seemed to be working. Then i had a thought, the last time i was in a similar situation i bought some anaesthetic throat spray which was the only thing that got me through the night. The next morning, all red eyed and not bushy tailed i went to the chemist at our local supermarket ...  Read the complete review

For sore mouth and throat conditions, Difflam is an antiseptic spray that is supposed to sooth and take the pain away from ulcers, sore throats and the like. This is a weird bottle of stuff that has a long, cigarette like nozzle which you stick down your throat. You press the button and it squirts the stuff to the back of your throat. The taste is medicinal and strong, but the smell - oh my gosh it's nasty. It smells really fishy. I mean, where the hell did that come from? It really is nasty, and you'd think they could have gone to some effort to make it smell and taste half decent. At around £7 for a 30ml pot it's very expensive too, ...  Read the complete review
