im not sure about it, but you make want to have water next to youn incase it gets stuck in your throat. I always suck on ice for a while, eat snowcones, icees, or anything cold. if that dousnt help, get sucrets, they are really good to suck on. you may have strep, so you may want to talk to a docter for medications. also, your throat may be really dry, so swallow an ice cube, or drink lots of water, and go to sleep. it will rehydrate you so the dryness will go away.
I'm not sure about honey, but gargling with warm salt water always help me. Be careful not to use too much salt. Do it in the morning and at night before you go to bed.
I'm not sure about honey, but my mother always used to make me gargle water with salt in it. I always thought it was dumb, but now that i'm in college and if i get sick, I always do it and it helps. Or you can always go and get some dayquil (sp?) or the generic brands to help it...and vitamins :)
honey has some anti microbial properties, if you try mixing some with green tea or better yet traditional medicinals throat coat tea it may help.
You might think that i'm daft but a sure fire way to nip a cough or a sore throat in the bud ........ is to slice a lime or lemon into quarters, squeeze the juice into a cup of warm water and add organic honey to taste (honey has antiobiotic properties) and sip on that................. so, yep, the honey will help if it is organic raw honey .....then, suck on another 1/4 of a lime or lemon rinsing your mouth out thoroughly afterwards to protect your teeth from the acid ?
The vitamin C content of limes and lemons is so potent that it does a fine job of eliminating a cough and cold symptoms by bolstering your immune system?
Just gotta be brave buddy and suk on those limes.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin C ~ in particular, limes and lemons, also oranges, strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes, leafy and green vegies, red and green peppers?
vitamin C will bolster your immunity and help to torch those nasty cold and flu germs?
Loads of freshly squeezed juices are good too?
Pump up your fresh filtered water intake as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one?
Avoid sugar as bacteria will only multiply and feed on sugar. Also avoid B complex thieves such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks, alcohol .............. all these things will also do a great job of dehydrating you?
Paradoxically otc cold and flu meds and aspirin will also do a fine job of robbing you of your B complex of vitamins as well as your precious supplies of Vitamin C.
Take a B complex supplement as the B complex of vitamins are essential for healthy neural digestive and immune system functioning and will assist your body in dealing with stress of being ill ................ take one even after you recover ?
Ensure you are drinking or eating something with Beta - carotene in it daily to heal quicker and in future to prevent further colds, as Vitamin A will aid in the proper function of the immune system, shorten the duration of illnesses and generally bolster the health of the mucosal lining of your ear nose and throat ie: carrott juice, pumpkin soups, eggs.
Eucalyptus oil has long been respected for its ability to lower temperatures and help the respiratory tract by loosening and removing mucus during attacks of bronchitis, coughs, flu, sinusitis and throat infections. Its antiviral and antibacterial action will deter further growth of the bacteria or virus?
Put a capfull of eucalyptus oil into a hot bath and soak in that for 15 - 20 minutes luxuriously inhaling the steamy wonderfull vapours.......... this will help enormously in loosening congestion and mucus from your chest and respiratory tract.
Put a few drops of eucalyptus oil also onto a hanky and lie it next to your pillow at night to help ease breathing.
Fill a salad bowl with hot water and put 1/2 a capfull of eucalyptus oil into it ~ make a tent with a towel over your head and lean over the bowl and inhale the steamy eucalypt vapours ........... being carefull not to get so close that you burn your face?
Caution ~ Do not use eucalyptus oil if you suffer from epilepsy or high blood pressure ....... if either is the case simply substitute with tea tree oil which is also a brilliant antiviral and antibacterial? Also do not use eucalyptus oil on infants or young children under 5 years of age ? Under no circumstances should you ever ingest eucalyptus oil ? Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also avoid using eucalyptus oil?
Good health to you?
be brave and eat the limes hun ~ amazing stuff?
CHEERS

Gargle with a level teaspoonful of salt and 2 teaspoons of vinegar in a glass of warm water,GOOD LUCK.
Honey will help, it's a natural antibiotic.
try honey and freshly squeezed lemon in boiling water and stir. my family uses that as a remedy for sore throats and colds in general. it works well.
oh and another thing, try a fruit called the cumquat fruit (chinese) its very effective if u have a sore throat (or think u have a sore throat. .. dont know if theyre in season tho.
