Ease sore throat discomfort with expert guidance at Alisha Pharmacy. Get effective relief, personalised treatment, and professional advice to help you recover quickly and feel better.

What is a Sore Throat?
A sore throat is a common condition that causes pain, irritation, or a scratchy sensation in the throat. Sore throat causes include viral infections (such as the flu or common cold), bacterial sore throat infections like strep throat, allergies, dry air, or irritants like smoke and pollution.
Symptoms of a Sore Throat
Common symptoms of a sore throat and cough include:
- Pain or a scratchy sensation in the throat.
- Difficulty swallowing.
- Swollen glands in the neck or jaw.
- White patches or pus on the tonsils.
- Hoarseness or voice loss.
- Persistent chronic sore throat in some cases.


Home Remedies for Sore Throat Relief
Before seeking professional sore throat treatment, try these sore throat remedies at home:
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of fluids keeps the throat moist and reduces irritation.
- Gargle with Salt Water: This reduces swelling and discomfort.
- Warm Liquids: Herbal teas and broths can provide relief.
- Honey: A natural remedy that soothes cough sore throat symptoms.
- Humidifier: Adding moisture to the air relieves a dry throat.
- Over-the-Counter Medicine for Sore Throat: Pain relievers like ibuprofen or paracetamol can ease discomfort.

Benefits of the Flu Vaccine
The flu is more than just a cold. Even people who are young and fit can become seriously ill from the flu. For older people and those with long-term health conditions, the flu can be very dangerous. That’s why it is recommended that everyone aged 2 and older get the flu jab if they are safe to do so.
The flu is a respiratory virus that can last for weeks and can’t be treated with antibiotics. Most people who get it will feel better within a week or so without any problems, but others may develop more serious complications like pneumonia and cardiac conditions.

Experiences That Speak for Themselves
I’ve been using Alisha pharmacy for 20 years now. I have other pharmacies nearer to my home, but I always use Alisha because Raj and all the rest of the team there are so friendly, professional, knowledgeable, informative and helpful. They obviously really care about what they do. A local gem.

Always friendly and helpful- take the lead in looking after their clients. Process prescriptions quickly and know their customers. Top notch service!

Raj the pharmacist runs a service of excellence and care to his local community. He and his team go above and beyond and know their community. The standard has always been exemplary. Would be such a tragedy to lose all of this to something impersonal and generic. A lot would fall through the cracks for the public. Let’s value the good we have.

Raj and the team provide such an excellent service to the community. I find the staff super helpful, really efficient and Raj was amazing recently when my daughter had to obtain emergency medicine. Keep it up!
