I think it would BensMom. I know drinking anything hot, coffee or hot cocoa are my usuals, helps my sore throat. Another thing that helps with sore throats, especially if you have an infection is gargling hot salt water. It tastes nasty!!! But after doing it just once, you'll feel better for a while. At least I do...
The way I usually do it is get the water nice & hot, but not boiling, so I usually just let the tap run for a few minutes. Then I fill a small coffecup (about 8 ounces) with water & add enough salt to make it salty, about as salty as a pretzel or olive. I've found that much salt works the best for me, any more & I can't even gargle it. Make sure you gargle the whole cup, it usually gets saltier when you get close to the bottom. Gargle salt water 3 times a day & your sore throat will be gone in no time.
