Really any hot liquids would be good for it, but green tea is the healthiest for the problem. The hotter the better. And don't add a bunch of sugar to make it taste better because that will just defeat the purpose of having the tea. Hope you feel better soon!

A nice cup of cold water also does the trick! [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
BitsandPieces answered Wednesday March 21 2007, 11:58 am: Doctors usually recommend drinking lots of cool water. You can also gargle with warm saltwater or a little peroxide mixed with warm water...do not swallow any peroxide!!!! These will kill germs in the throat and provide pain relief, but don't overdue it, because it will dry you out. Suck on losenges or hard candy to keep throat moist and if it is dry in your house, use a humidifier. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]
