My ass got hit with a bad case of laryngitis (or tonsillitis???) and rn I'm feeling miserable. BUT one thing that's def been helping with the dry throat has been the Ricola Caramel throat balm drops (AKA: "Ricola Caramel with Liquid Center Throat Balm Drops"). It's great bc it's non-drying and also it tastes delicious bc it has honey in the center.
NOTE: If you've got a dry cough you DON'T want to use cough drops with menthol bc it dries you out even more; these cough drops have pectin as their active ingredient, which acts as an oral demulcent to create a film over the mucus membrane in your throat to help w/any irritation.
*Obviously it's not gonna miraculously heal you but it's good for momentary relief
