Salt water gargle. My DH swears by it, but it makes me gag (of course, gargling in general makes me gag). Mix 1 tsp. of salt into a glass (8 oz. or so) of warm water and gargle with it. DO NOT swallow it! Repeat as necessary (every few hours) until throat feels better. Halls does make a sugar-free cough drop, but it just helps with cough, not sore throats and it does have some carbs. There's a brand on the market called N'ICE that are sugar free that do help with sore throats, but go easy of them if you use them. Even though they are sugar-free, they are still not carb free (I think 2-3 grams of carb per lozenge). Hope you feel better soon! If it doesn't clear up in a couple of days or you start running a fever, get thee to a doctor. I hear strep throat is making the rounds.
