There is an increasing need to tackle cold
symptoms immediately.
Even after the reclassification of COVID-19 to the less severe Class 5, some people have a high level of self-care awareness against cold symptoms, and prefer to treat symptoms with over-the-counter medications wherever possible.
At Shionogi Healthcare, we will support these self-care needs by providing over-the-counter medications.

Visit a storePhlegm is caused by bacterial or viral infections,
or by breathing in contaminants or dust in air.
Phlegm can get stuck in your throat, making it difficult to breathe,
while coughing to clear the phlegm can also irritate your throat.
Prevention before phlegm symptoms get worse is important.
Gargling
Viruses and bacteria taken in from the air may adhere to the mucosa of the throat. Make it a habit to gargle to prevent viruses and bacteria from entering your body.
Handwashing
Hands that come in contact with anything can carry viruses and bacteria. Wash your hands frequently with soap and hot water. Always keep your hands clean.
Regular hydration
The throat has the function of eliminating foreign substances such as viruses and bacteria. When your throat becomes dry, this function deteriorates. Hydrate yourself frequently and keep your throat moist.
