Time frame: Group A: 4 days Group B: 5 days
Change in the Sore Throat Intensity by 100 mm VAS
Change in the sore throat intensity by 100 mm VAS (visual analogue scale filled in by the patient) at the start and after 3 days of therapy. The VAS is a 100-mm horizontal line on which the patient's pain intensity is represented by a point between the extremes of "no pain at all" and "worst pain imaginable." The VAS ranges from 0 to 100. A decrease from baseline in the VAS score to reflect pain intensity indicates a decrease in pain intensity.
Time frame: 4 days
Period of Time Required for Disappearance of the Disease Symptoms
A period of time required for disappearance of the disease symptoms, determined according to the patient's diary (subjective patient's evaluation), but no more than 5 days during the trial-for patients who have achieved the corresponding outcome.
