Lozenges are small, often flavored candies designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. They are commonly used to soothe sore throats, freshen breath, or provide relief from coughs. Lozenges can contain various ingredients, including menthol, honey, or herbal extracts, which help to alleviate discomfort and provide a pleasant taste. These candies come in various shapes and sizes, typically round or rectangular. Lozenges are available over-the-counter and can be found in pharmacies and grocery stores. Some popular brands include Ricola and Halls, which offer a range of flavors and formulations to meet different needs.
