But failing that......

Extract the juice of 4 oranges and 2 lemons into a mug and add hot water and a couple of spoonfuls of honey (or more according to taste).

Repeat until the symptoms ease.

Far more effective than any chemical cocktail

I have it too at the moment. Very uncomfortable. I visited my 73 yr. old neighbour with the Christmas card this evening, she was down with the same thing. She has been taking paracetamol to relieve her suffering, and she is slowly getting better. So if she can survive, so will I. I am taking Ibuprofen, as I have terrible inflammation in my throat and chest. Its very frustrating to be ill at such a busy and festive time of the year, I know.

I always recommend (she) giving me a good blow job, to any girl who complains of having a sore throat.

Funnily enough, if I have a sore throat I also ask her to perform the same...
