Zinc For Sore Throats
To get a jump start on sore throat pain, begin taking zinc lozenges immediately. There are a number of different brands, some with added vitamin C and herbs, but you have to be the judge of what tickles your tastebuds. Some can be downright yucky - but others quite palatable. There are special brands made for kids and many brands for adults. Start with a 15 mg lozenge (which you dissolve in your mouth) every 3 waking hours for 3 days. Then reduce to 1 lozenge every 4 hours for a week. To be safe DO NOT exceed a total of 100 mg a day from all your supplements as too much of any mineral is not a good thing. The power of zinc, however, is very important in boosting the immune system.
