What is a throat lozenge?

  1. Flavored tablet or disc containing medication released into the throat

  2. Liquid drug form in which the drug is evenly dissolved

  3. Softening and soothing, especially of the skin

  4. Gelatin type container which holds medicine and dissolves in the stomach

The correct answer is: Flavored tablet or disc containing medication released into the throat

A throat lozenge is a flavored tablet or disc containing medication that is released into the throat. Throat lozenges are designed to be dissolved slowly in the mouth to help alleviate sore throats, coughs, and other throat irritations. They often contain ingredients like menthol, peppermint, or honey to provide soothing relief. Liquid drug forms (option B), softening and soothing of the skin (option C), and gelatin type containers that dissolve in the stomach (option D) do not accurately describe what a throat lozenge is used for or its typical form.
