If we use alcohol as disinfectant, why drinking it doesnt solve throat infection / sore throat?
In: 5842
The alcohol has no effect because the pain is caused by the inflammation, which is caused by infection. The alcohol does nothing because on the surface, there is nothing to destroy. To get rid of the pain, you need to relieve the inflammation. If it is an infection, it is possible that this will prolong it a little. I always just take paracetamol to reduce the pain and let the immune system do its job.
