Sore throat soothers

[JanuaryShoes]

I know it's minor but I suffer from a long term sore throat. The GP says it's red but not majorly inflamed and it's not agony, just irritating. I currently take paracetamol but have been taking it for ages now. Is there anything natural I can use instead?

Drink either hot Ribena, or mix honey, hot water and lemon juice and drink that.

Gargle with dilute TCP, it is miraculous

Tcp! I haven't seen that in years.

Thanks for the tips, I will try them
