PAINT:

Paints are liquids for application to the skin or mucous membranes. Skin paints often have a volatile solvent that evaporates quickly to leave a dry resinous film of medicament.

THROAT PAINT:

Throat paints are more viscous due to a high content of glycerol, designed to prolong contact of the medicament with the affected site.

There is abundant clinical evidence to show painting the external throat with iodine can reduce pain of the throat, may curb and even eliminate throat infections, boosts overall immune function and helps with conditions such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis and more. Of course, the action of this solution in the case of throat infections has been observed to be much greater when the solution is painted internally on throat tissue. If considering this application, you would need to be sure you were using an appropriate formulation so as to not poison yourself! You can ask a pharmacist to help you find the proper solution

According to the Merck manual, chronic toxicity may develop when intake is greater than 1.1 mg/day. Also, a precaution exists for people who may have an allergy to iodine. A simple test is to spread a very small amount on the skin of your inner thigh and watch for small blisters to appear within a few hours. If blisters do appear, you may be allergic to or have an allergic reaction to Iodine solutions.
