What about tea with some honey in it. I think you can put ginger in it too, supposed to ease the pain.

Resident Speech Therapist to the rescue - breathe in some steam, it will help you hydrate your throat which will make it feel less sore. The way I do it is to make a cup of hot water, then jsut breathe in the steam from the cup - then drink the hot water which will help also. I also find that cold stuff like sorbet or ice lollies help.

Hope that helps you honey xxx
