This Difflam Rinse is a liquid treatment for sore throats. Swish the rinse around your mouth or gargle with it like a mouthwash to ease pain and inflammation caused by a sore throat. If you’re suffering from a painful, irritated throat, Difflam Rinse could help to ease your pain and let you feel more comfortable again.

This helps to soothe your sore throat and reduce any swelling that may be causing you discomfort.
