Honey?!?

Honey/lemon tea.

If it's infected gargle salt water.

Regular sips of water.

Ummm, I think that's all i know!

I use a cup of boiling water with honey,a bit of lemon juice (drop the wedge in there sometimes) and a piece of ginger.

Half a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warmish water, gargle as often as you can stand it.

Warm drinks with honey are good too. If you've got manuka honey, now is the time to use that.

Hope it's feeling better soon.
