Yes, Manuka Honey too, although I never used it $, other then organic honey, which burned my mouth anyway from the sugars, so I never bothered buying the Manuka honey. Virgin Organic Cocunut Oil, which has antibacterial properties too, can be swished, swallowed or rinsed with the salt water/baking soda rinse, adding glutamine powder or on its own help with healing. Forget to mention rinsing with carbonated soda, which can be left to flatten a little, helps break up mucus, even beer, but that may be a while :), rinsing or drinking cool tea, and egg drop soup helped loosen mucus, at least when I was able to eat, and steam from a warm shower helps loosen the mucus. Some use a netti-pot, I never did though.
