      @tiffany Honey and warm tea tends to help me treat mine when I get one

          @tiffany It draws water away from inflamed tissue through osmosis which causes less swelling, so you could you could hypothetically take it on its own if you're so inclined. I just like it in tea (especially a nice herbal tea) because it's really soothing for the affected area.

                @northernnarwhal yeah but I don't feel up to operating it right now

                  @tiffany Well a spoonful of honey on its own should still help if you're up to that. Maybe a popsicle for pain relief too if you have one in the house.

                    @northernnarwhal we do have some, I have been eating some ice cream but I dunno if that's as good

                      @tiffany Ice cream isn't as good because dairy products can cause throat swelling during periods of mucus buildup

                              @tiffany Good stuff, hope it helps. It won't make the sore throat go away outright (only time can really accomplish that) but it should hopefully treat it.

                                @northernnarwhal hopefully, I'm not a huge fan of popsicles

                                  @tiffany I actually kind of prefer them to ice cream personally, as far as cold treats go.
