Yes: Hot limeade and pasteurized honey is safe. Most sore throats are caused by viruses and do not require antibiotics. Rest. Drink lots of fluids. Gargle with warm salt water 4 x/day. If your symptoms do not improve in 4-5 days you should have a strep test. If strep throat is not treated with antibiotics it can lead to serious consequences.
