Sore throat

Hi Dee. Have you Difflam left over from treatment? If you can gargle with that it should help a lot. 
Honey is good too ( forget the sugar in it for now, just have a rinse and spit afterwards) Proper honey ( the sort my bees produce)  is very healing but is full of enzymes and can be a bit stingy so you could start off with cheap supermarket “honey”. I wouldn’t bother with Manuka. 

If you like you could pm me your address and I’ll  send you a jar of this summer’s honey which is light and gentle. Free of course. 
I got into the habit of having some cooked boiled water by the bedside and managed to sip in my sleep … so to speak. 
Hope this helps. 

Hi Dani

I do have Difflam, it stings like hell but I'll dilute it with some water. I gargle with Caphosol and that seems to have settled it and managed to sleep for a couple of hours. I have some home made honey in the cupboard that I never got round to using so will give that a go too. Do I just take a  spoonful swill and spit or should I dilute with water?

Tonsil cancer treatment....finished chemoradio 30 rounds of Radiotherapy and 4 of cisplatin chemo start of June.

After surgery for another health issue for which I was intubated I ended up with throat pain due to intubation damage...contacted my GP who prescribed Difflam spray...it certainly helps.

Spoonful and swallow all of it slowly. 
rinse your mouth out a few minutes later. 
PS if the honey has set take the lid off and pop it into the microwave for 30seconds 

Hi! I finished RT (6 weeks daily & Chemo x 5 Cisplatin) 4 weeks ago. My throat felt like gravel initially & was also plagued with a cough upon trying to sleep at night. I now have a humidifier in the bedroom & spray Mucosamin on my throat last thing. For me, this has helped a lot & no longer a serious problem. 

Hoping you find a solution that suits you personally… Interrupted sleep is no fun! 
Good luck! Ps. If Beesuit reads this - ( sorry l find this site a bit of a pain to navigate) your signposted article on post treatment period was a really fantastic read - all 9 pages. Helped me greatly. Sincere thanks!

Glad it helped… all 9 pages 

Mucosamin wasn’t around when I was treated but I see The Swallows put it in their support boxes.
