These tablets became a life saver for me. I was due to go on holiday and I developed a very sore throat. I had tried everything from Lozenges, to medicine, even sore throat spray.
Nothing worked, until I was in my local Health and Beauty shop and I was looking for something different.I know the staff now so I mentioned that my throat was hurting badly, one of the assistants said to take soluble aspirin, and gargle with it.
I had never heard of that before so I thought I would give it a go. Boy was I surprised..They also became a life saver for my husband later on as he developed a sore throat after me, we do believe in sharing !!.
I’m not sure if these tablets are sold worldwide, maybe if they are they might be disguised under another name.The pack I bought was a pack of 18, you can get more in a pack up to 36 I think.
They cost around £2.00 in english money.There are other soluble aspirin but I find that Aspro Clear are the best, sometimes getting an alternative might not be as effective.
As soon as I had bought them, I got straight to work with them.
I was a bit worried about doing the gargling as Iam not keen on doing that.
I found that just putting a little bit at a time in your mouth was easier than just swallowing all the lot at once.
If you struggle to gargle, just try swishing the water around your mouth, this also can be very effective.
This is all you do..
You dissolve one to two tablets in half a glass of cold water , then wait for it to fizz, once the tablets have dissolved and the effervescence settles it is ready to drink.
I quickly tried to gargle with a bit at a time, it wasn’t as bad as I had thought.
The taste was pleasant enough, rather lemoney, if you have had Andrews Liver salts, then it’s a bit like that.
I carried on doing this for the rest of the day, you have to have four hour intervals, it is best not to take more than 13 tablets in 24 hours though.
As it got to night I felt a lot better, then over the course of two/three days, my throat had got back to normal.
I thought they were very effective and would buy them again.
The tablets are also good for a long list of medical problems, including ;Headache and Migraine, Toothache, Backache, period Pain, Neuralgia, Rheumatic Pain, Colds and Influenza and Sciatica.
Apparently taking soluble aspirin get’s into your bloodstream quicker than just swallowing a whole tablet.
Therefore it works faster.
Children under 12 must seek doctors advice before taking these tablets.
If the symptoms still persist after taking a full packet of these tablets, see your doctor for his/her advice.
