Introducing the NEW Difflam Kids 6+ Sore Throat Spray.

When your little one has a sore throat, eating, drinking and even sleeping can quickly become a struggle. That’s where the new Difflam Kids 6+ Sore Throat Spray can help. It has been designed especially with kids (and parents) in mind, providing fast, targeted relief right where it hurts.

The unique, easy to use format, with a kid friendly flavour is suitable for children aged 6 years and over, helping to ease the pain, redness and swelling and quickly provide sore throat relief for kids.

What’s inside Difflam Kids 6+ Sore Throat Spray?

The active ingredient in Difflam Kids 6+ Sore Throat Spray is benzydamine hydrochloride.

Why benzydamine?

Benzydamine works in the mouth and throat to:1

  • Reduce inflammation and swelling
  • Relieve throat and mouth pain
  • Soothe sore, irritated tissue

The handy spray format delivers targeted relief directly to the sore area, eliminating the need for medicine to travel through the whole body for effect.

Why choose a Sore Throat Spray for Kids?

Kids can be fussy, especially when they are unwell and experiencing a sore throat. As a parent, you often look for options that are designed specifically for kids, taste great and that work quickly for fast relief.

Home remedies for sore throats can be soothing, although they may not relieve the pain. Pain relievers (analgesics) such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can help to temporarily relieve pain associated with colds and flu, and sore throats, however these can take longer to start working. This is because the body must first absorb the medication and circulate it before reaching the targeted site of action.2

Throat sprays provide relief by gently coating the back of the throat with a thin layer of medicated solution, making them an easy, fuss-free option. Sprays are also a helpful option when throat pain is making swallowing uncomfortable or when you want fast- acting relief at bedtime to help your child settle straight back to sleep.

How do I use Difflam Kids 6+ Sore Throat Spray?

Using Difflam Kids 6+ Sore Throat Spray is quick and easy:

  • After taking off the transparent cap, swivel/ swing the nozzle to the left or right and aim the spray nozzle towards the sore area of the throat or mouth
  • Apply the recommended number of sprays
    Age: Children 6-12 years.
    Dosage: Spray 4 times directly onto the sore/inflamed area. Swallow gently.
    How often: Repeat every 1.5-3 hours as required.

    Age: Adults and children over 12 years
    Dosage: Spray 4-8 times directly onto the sore/inflamed area. Swallow gently.
    How often: Repeat every 1.5-3 hours as required.
  • Before first use or after a period of non-use, prime the spray by depressing the pump until the mist is released. After use, wipe the nozzle with a tissue to prevent blockage.
  • Do not share with other people. Sharing Difflam Kids 6+ Sore Throat Spray, even if the nozzle is cleaned, can spread infections, bacteria, and germs.

Children should always be assisted by an adult when using throat sprays. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
