Honey and lemon in hot water.

I’m old school (and a nurse)...gargle with warm salt water and just wait it out. Hope you feel better soon.

Hot toddies!

I second the warm salt water. This can also take the form of hot chicken soup with lots of garlic and a good strong broth. (And plenty of vitamin C bearing fruit for snacks. Feel better!)

Black elderberry and echinacea are really good as well.
