What is Glycerin Honey & Lemon?

Why do I have a cough and sore throat?
One of the most common reasons why you may have a cough or a sore throat are colds or the flu. Both of these symptoms can be caused by the irritation in your throat caused by a viral infection, making your throat feel tickly or sore. They’ll usually clear up by themselves within a week or two, but cough syrups can help to soothe your poor irritated throat until your cold has passed.
How will Glycerin Honey & Lemon help to soothe my sore throat or cough?
Glycerin Honey and Lemon syrup helps to soothe your sore throat and cough by creating a coating on the back of your throat. This helps to soothe inflammation and protect your throat from further irritation when you’re coughing away.
