Comparison(s):

PRIMARY ENDPOINT:

Indication of pain on the VRS (PI)-verbal rating scale (pain intensity)-in the first 3 hours (the patient rates his/her pain on a six-point verbal rating scale).

SECONDARY ENDPOINT (S):

1. Patient's assessment of effectiveness and tolerance. The patient assesses the effectiveness and the tolerance of the test medicine for treating his sore throat at the end of the first and second day of treatment, by means of a verbal rating scale.
