Hello everyone. Me and my girlfriend live in Tokyo. I am not Japanese and I don’t know what can I buy in pharmacy for throat treatmen. My girlfriend has a COVID and she can’t sleep because her throat hurts a lot. But the doctor did not prescribe any medication and just said by short call: quarantine 7 days. I am worrying about my girlfriend. Please, can you tell me what we can buy in pharmacy? Maybe some antiviral medicines? Please write the names of the medicines in the comments. Thanks to all.

Isojin is good for sore throats. It looks like this: https://item.rakuten.co.jp/kyorindo/4987087041842/
Or nodonuuru. https://item.rakuten.co.jp/sundrug/4987072032374×2/. This also comes in a spray.
Just head to a pharmacy KUSURI くすり They can help. The signs are easy to find.
btw: throat = nodo
Pabron, Menthol cough drops (Ryukakusan is common) and lots of fluids are your best bet.
Did you know you can get your medicine with 70% discount with THIS ONE WEIRD TRICK: you’re allowed to ask the doctor to prescribe you medicine for specific stuff.
i recommend isojin personally.
