Hi Dinah, I don't know if it works on your throat to make it more comfortable or not. I have tested myself that during lunch hour if I went out for lunch, my throat had a sore feeling when I walked back to my school (about ten minutes) but if I was inside a car, there was no such feeling. Then I found out recently that after lunch I put a sugar free chewing gum inside my mouth with some drinking water and started chewing, the sore throat did not appear. I need not drink water all the time and the chewing gum can give me an hour of peace. Of course it gives me a sticky mouth too.But I think it is better than a sore throat.
Karen.
