Oh, I picked some of those up too, but they didn't do anything at all. Which is when I switched to Vicks and it huuuuurt. The one time I used Fishermans' Friend it was soothing, but then I had to spit it out because it was so gross, hahaha. :( It was like a spit-take. "Hm, this is interesting, I see why this is so popular -- OH MY GOD GET IT OUT GET IT OUT GET IT OUT."
I had totally forgotten about that trick! I will have to remember to do that. My parents made me do that as a kid, and while I hated it (ew ew ew warm and salty blech), I always got better, eventually, so I guess it worked?
Fishermans' Friend is so foul. I could never leave it in my mouth long enough to find out if it worked. Sorry the Ricola didn't work for you. I was just delighted to find something that worked better for me than vicks.
The best thing that ever worked for me was liquid echinacea drops. I used to use them when I had big concerts/shows coming up and I was doing a lot of rehearsing. I would mix some in with my water and it kept the soreness to a minimum. Tastes pretty bad, but not as bad as Fishermans' Friends lolol. I guess I could try looking for some of that? Hm...

And if you really want to get rid of the pain; gargle with warm, lightly salted water. and do it often, say 5 times a day. Seriously works.
