You NEVER, EVER use warm/hot liquids when trying to get rid of the swelling associated with a sore throat!!!! ALWAYS use ice, which will reduce the swelling!!!! I learned this from my voice teacher, years ago, and it works for me, specifically cracked ice, every 20 minutes!!! When a football player is injured, you don't see anyone applying heat to their swollen joint, ice is applied!!!! Check it out, I know what I'm espousing!!!
The capsaicin in sports rubs is what relieves pain. It's the same capsaicin that's in red pepper or jalapenos. Put half a cup of cider vinegar, half a cup of honey, and one pickled, seeded jalapeno in a blender, and liquify. Or stir the equivalent of red pepper into the honey/vinegar. Trickle it down your throat. I learned this from a pharmacist.
My voice teacher had me swallow cracked ice, every 20 minutes, for one hour, which reduces the swelling. I had a violent sore throat one Sunday morning when I was scheduled to sing a solo at church. With the cracked ice method, I had my voice in shape and sang my solo within 30 minutes!!! Also, she told me NEVER to use any hot beverages to treat a sore throat, ONLY very cold drinks, and of course the cracked ice method. Blanche knew of what she spoke, and I am the beneficiary, who is still singing at 83!!!!! Also never cover your throat/neck, because heat exacerbates the swelling. Athletes never use heat for an injury, only ice to reduce swelling.
