What Bucometasana is and what it is used for

Bucometasana is indicated in adults for the symptomatic relief of mild mouth and throat infections that cause pain but not fever, such as throat irritation, hoarseness, and small canker sores.
You should see a doctor if it gets worse or does not improve after 2 days.
