Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lysozyme-based oral antiseptic in the therapy of non-infectious sore throat in teachers.
Materials And Methods:
A non-interventional, prospective, pilot study was conducted with two examinations. The first was performed as part of a general medical examination. If a non-infectious sore throat was confirmed by clinical checkup and all other inclusion and non-exclusion criteria confirmed, patients were offered to be enrolled in the study. After signing the informed consent form, patients were advised to use lysozyme-based lozenges, six times a day, for a period of five days. A telephone call follow-up examination was performed within 24 hours from the therapy completion.
Results:
This was a pilot study involving 25 adult patients of both genders. Lysozyme-based lozenges showed positive effects in relieving the symptoms of non-infectious sore throat in teachers. At the same time, the lozenges showed excellent tolerability, and no side effects were reported during the study. 92% of patients confirmed they would take the same medicine again due to the same problem.
Conclusion:
The results of this "proof-of-concept" study indicated that lysozyme-based antiseptic could be effective and safe in the treatment of non-infectious sore throat in teachers and should be further evaluated as treatment option in this condition.

Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Tonsillitis II: Management
Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
