Curex offers convenient at-home allergy testing options. Our goal is to determine if a patient would benefit from immunotherapy and then customize a treatment plan that can reduce both the symptoms and the reliance on allergy medications.
A sore throat can be triggered by viral infections (like colds or flu), bacterial infections (such as strep throat), allergies, dry air, irritants, or overuse of the voice. Identifying the cause is key to effective relief.
If your sore throat is caused by allergies, treating the underlying allergy is crucial. At Curex, we offer personalized immunotherapy to address the root cause of your allergy. For immediate symptom relief, our Quickie medication combines antihistamine, corticosteroid, decongestant, anticholinergic, and hyaluronic components, tailored to your specific symptoms by a licensed provider. Quickie is designed to relieve all your allergy symptoms, including sore throat, in one personalized treatment.
Prompt medical attention is important if you experience these symptoms, as they may indicate a more serious condition.
Most sore throats are caused by viruses, such as the common cold or flu. These usually get better on their own.
Strep throat is a common bacterial cause. It may need antibiotics to get better.
Allergies to pollen, dust, or pet dander can irritate the throat and cause soreness.
Breathing dry air, especially in winter, can dry out and irritate your throat.
Smoke, pollution, or strong chemicals can make your throat sore.
Most sore throats are not serious and go away on their own. If your sore throat lasts more than a week, is very painful, or comes with a high fever, see a doctor.
Most sore throats are caused by viruses, but some are due to bacteria like strep throat. Here’s how you can tell the difference:
Antibiotics only help bacterial infections, not viral ones. Most sore throats get better on their own, but see a doctor if you have trouble breathing, swallowing, or a high fever.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.
Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
