What is a strip and will my child like it?

A strip is a form of sore throat relief that quickly dissolves in the mouth with the medicine going straight to the throat to coat and soothe. Strips are ideal for children who don’t like sprays or are too young to safely suck on throat lozenges. It’s just the right size and is very thin to dissolve quickly.
