Kids Soothing Throat Pops
When your kid has a dry tickly throat, it can be frustrating for the whole family. Discover how Difflam Kids Soothing Throat Pops can help.
Why are throat pops a good option for a kid’s dry, tickly throat?
When your kid has a dry tickly throat, it can be frustrating for the whole family. They can be caused by a variety of things and finding relief can be tricky if your child is younger than 4 years old. This is where sore throat lollipops (or throat pops) may help.
What are throat pops?
Throat pops are like throat lozenges on a stick – a lozenge lollipop. Throat lozenges may be a choking hazard for children under the age of four years, whereas throat lollipops may be used in children as young as 3 years old.
The active ingredients in Difflam Kids Soothing Throat Pops that make them great for young kids
Difflam Kids Soothing Throat Pops contain acerola extract – which you may know as Barbados Cherry or West Indian Cherry. Acerola fruit is one of the richest sources of vitamin C in the world. Vitamin C helps the body fight infections, build collagen, absorb iron from food and helps keep teeth, bones and gums healthy.
Difflam Kids Soothing Throat Pops also contain Wellmune®, a science-based super nutrient called a beta glucan. These are a type of dietary fibre found naturally in some foods. Wellmune® is derived from a highly purified, proprietary baker’s yeast and offers immune health benefits to children consuming up to 125 mg (or 250 mg for adults) per day.
What symptoms can throat pops help with in kids?
Sore throats can feel different depending on the causes. That dry, tickly feeling may be a hint that an infection is beginning – though they may also be caused by changes in the weather or season, allergies, or poor air quality. Pain may come later as an infection sets in.
Which symptoms throat pops can help with will depend on their ingredients. Difflam Kids Soothing Throat Pops are designed to help soothe dry, tickly throats while supporting children’s immune health, so are ideal for using at those first signs.
