Gargling whisky, preferably an Islay single malt, works for me. No spitting though

Get hold of some "active" manuka honey - the highest rating you can get ( the stuff in supermarkets is generally only around a +5 but health foos type places generally have better) and take a teaspoonful sucking on it slowly. Do this often (sayyyy 2 hourly?)  I find it gives me amazing relief!

Thanks for that...you reminded me that hubby ( always stockpiling healthy foods) had a jar of manuka active 5 in the cupboard..I just had a spoon....Already feeling a softer throat

I found that soluble Disprin worked best when I used to get tonsillitis all the time.  Also sucking on licorice for some reason and without a doubt chicken soup.

Liquid echinacea, half a teaspoon...it'll kill the germs and numb the pain.
