Avoid lactose as much as possible, drink a decent amount of water, use saline spray, and drink chamomile tea with honey in it. All of those tend to work for me.

Nah I won't bother her for that. I'd assume she'd reccomend honey lemon ginger tea or something like that though.

Careful with that. Chinese medicinal teas are some of the worst stuff I've ever tasted. My grandma used to make me choke that stuff down whenever I was sick as a kid. She didn't speak a word of english and I think she used that as an excuse to ignore my protests and pour that foul liquid down my throat.

Real non-supermarket honey, if you have any local supplies of honey that hasn't been purified and boiled and treated and all sorts of nonsense then that works, it's naturally anti-bacterial so works and tastes great. If that isn't much help then do what I regularly do and just take a strong painkiller, three or four should work.

Drink lots of tea, eat ice cream, eat honey and shutting the hell up works wonders.

Gargling with warm saltwater works. For my last sore throat, Wendy's vanillia Frostys worked pretty good.

I'll try to have a tolerably flavored lozenge. Halls are disgusting. I miss those lollies that were losenges on a stick, made for kids. Those were great.
