Tantum Verde was prescribed by a district doctor, so I immediately bought him to cure my son's throat. I was surprised that he gave "pshikat", which means that he liked the spray. The main thing is to use it very carefully, because the spray can scratch the throat. In my opinion this is the best medicine for young children.
