I am not a doctor or of any medical profession.

Hot drinks help ease the throat. Gargle with raspberry tea, Listerine, salt water, tumeric, or sage. Drink cider vinegar. Sip real lemon juice (with some honey), or lime juice (with some honey). Drink a ton of water. Suck on a garlic (never done this before, never want to). A good steaming session is good too (just fill up the tub with hot water and sit over it with a towel over your head).

I personally love hot tea (simple stuff like Lipton) with some honey and real lemon squeeze. Other favourite is hot/warm milk with honey.

Speedy recovery!
