For Sore Throat "Ever since I was a kid, I used this stuff. Sometimes I snuck into Mom's room and got it from the medical cabinet behind the mirror 'out of reach of children.' I used to take it when I was completely healthy and wanted to feel the sensation of a numb throat. Just recently got a cough and remembered this stuff. Figured it was better to feel a numb throat than go on coughing because it itched. It works for about a minute, but sometimes that's enough to get you off a coughing spell. Instant relief. I like it. I would rather have the momentary relief than tear up my throat with coughing torrents. I see people say it doesn't work and don't swallow it, it is real bad for you. I believe that. It's possible to have an allergic reaction from that, and it's probably not healthy for you. Just now did I see the label and started researching what it's bad for."

For Sore Throat "I've been using this phenol gargle for my really sore throat, and it helps a bit. I can still feel the pain, though. I don't know what's wrong with my throat. This is pretty helpful, even if it only helps a bit. I've used it before, and it works well with dry coughing."

For Sore Throat "I use this stuff when I get a throat infection (4 times a year, like clockwork). I spray 4-8 times and gargle until it absorbs into the back of the throat. Lasts about an hour or two if used for pain relief, but the real good effects are it stops the throat infection from getting worse (for me anyways). My throat infections almost always turn into ulcers, but if I use this day one before they start to become pustules that rupture, it just doesn't become pustular, and the overall infection is easier to deal with. It can be extremely rough on the stomach if ingested. Though I've been taking it for so long, it doesn't bother me anymore."

For Sore Throat "Rudy, thank you for your story. It is 2:32 AM. I am wide awake and weirded out. I am in day 8 of recovering from a bad bout of influenza. I have had sore tongue problems in the past with reflux, the gases make the tongue rough, sensitive, sore, and misshapen. Difficult to heal when you know you will be open mouth breathing. I thought of Blistex for the lips... it has the refreshing tingle and feels soothing, so I just applied it directly, tube to tongue. It felt great, and I fell asleep. Woke up an hour later but not really 'woke up,' hearing little animal feet scurrying around me on my bed. Yeah. This went on, different variations of auditory hallucinations for a few hours. I am now searching phenol and hoping to stay awake."

Phenol topical for Sore Throat "I love this stuff. I took ibuprofen every three hours every day until I finally got over the strep, but this spray was what helped my throat feel better. And it works immediately."

For Sore Throat "Does not taste good. Been taking this for a day, and it lasts for 5 minutes. Doesn’t even help treat and only numbs. Sucks."

Phenol topical for Tonsillitis/Pharyngitis "I was silly enough not to read the ingredients before purchasing online. I needed lidocaine or benzocaine and it contained phenol. It did very little for the pain from canker sores."
