Suggest Treatment For Scratchy Throat
Question: I'm seeking relief from ragweed-allergy-induced scratchy throat. Would slippery elm lozenges be counter-indicated because it's a plant and my general allergies are trees, grass and weed related? Any suggestions other than tea with honey which helps only a little? Thanks.
