Awful Sore Throat... anyone else got one?

[Fab Foodie]

Got a truly awful sore throat, crept-up on me last week in Hungary and is now a real stinker, eating's a real chore and sleeping last night was fitful at best. The paracetamols not working it's magic, though the cooking Brandy and Lockets combo is working some magic. If I had tonsils, I could could blame tonsilitis.
Is this something 'going-round' or is it just me?

Tried lots of honey?
My Grandma used to tell me a teaspoon of honey allways helped
At least if you get nagged at there is an excuse not to respond!

TCP? I think it's best diluted.

The best thing I've found for a very sore throat (and I've had a few this past year),is paracetomol that dissolves take 1000mg ,gargle with a third of the glass and swallow the rest, then take ibuprofen to take down the swelling.
Then throughout the day lockets and drink plenty of honey and lemon.
Hope this helps.

Let a Dispirin desolve in your mouth.
