Oh yes.. I totally agree with Di ,
the warm and salty gargles, it really does help to get the crud out of the throat and sinuses too.

my dd has enlarged tonsils and gets problems with those, her Dr also suggested those gargles many times a day.

If you have any vitamin C that are chewable you can slowly suck on them and the vit c will help to sooth the throat in between the gargles.
Oh and hot tea with honey & lemon
