A couple of years ago I was at a friend's house and my throat was getting a raw feeling, which kept getting worse. She gave me one of these Halls Defense Drops. In a matter of minutes my throat was feeling so much better. It was from sinus drainage which makes your throat get so raw. My family has not been without these since. We have never used anything that works this fast on a sore throat. This seller has them listed for a great price too.
I have allergies which cause me to cough quite a bit! Although these are not intended for the purpose, when I start to cough, one citrus drop stops it in its tracks!
