Occasionally, some people feel a stinging sensation when they first start using Difflam Sore Throat Rinse. If this happens to you, try diluting your next dose with water to reduce the stinging.

If you notice any other side-effects, or if any side-effects continue for more than a few days, you should tell your pharmacist or doctor.

As with all medicines, some people may be allergic to Difflam. Usually, if you are allergic, a reaction will occur soon after using the product. An allergic reaction can occur as a rash, small red spots on the skin, itching, or the skin may also become more sensitive to sunlight. In rare cases, difficulty in breathing and swelling of the throat may occur, which may need emergency treatment.
If you experience any of these symptoms, stop the treatment and seek medical advice immediately.
