Josh for whats is worth an old polish woman at my prior job used to tell me to drink vodka with a splash of honey and lemon juice. No matter what the illness the remedy was always the same... lol
I sometimes get really sore throats because of my bad sinus' and post nasal drip. I end up drinking lots of cold water and eating jello. One of those unfortunate things where you just need to rough it out.
Hope you recover soon.
