Asking this as I have a horrible throat infection making it incredibly painful to swallow, and therefore difficult to eat and drink. I have to stay on top of my painkillers every four hours or the pain starts to come back, I’d just love to know how this actually works.

This is the same as saying “if a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?”
Pain is your body telling you something is wrong. Painkillers block that message.
The tree fell… the painkillers made sure you didn’t hear it.
Follow up question, if I take something because my knee hurts or I have a headache and it is working why does it not stop the pain if I cut myself or stub my toe?

Yea they usually last 4 hours, you need to keep taking it, it’s just a mask, doesn’t actually heal anything it just kills the feeling. Don’t take more than you need though because or you will ruin your bodies tolerance and will reduce its effectiveness.
