    Are those over the counter? I'm just off to the little shop near me, so will see. Also, I hear ice cream is good for a sore throat? Please say yes.... anybody.

    practical and healthy suggestion = Frozen grapes (obvious practical limitations)

    or 200g of Lion midget gems........ having said that they would also be my cure of preference for a variety of ailments.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    From a pharmacy the best thing is a chloraseptic anaesthetic throat spray, it contains local anaesthetic so relieves pain as soon as you spray it on your throat. Tyrozets are also good as they numb the throat too. I always have both in just incase

    A GP once told me to gargle with a dissolved aspirin solution, worked for me, though took a couple of days.
