Just a quick note to let y'all know that I was able to order Difflam lozenges from New Zealand (online pharmacy). They really seem to help with swallowing pain. Of curse, it's kind oof pricey to ship it here.

I paid $50 for 8 packs to be airmailed (shipping included). They seem to help with my swallowing pain.
