I've been taken 6 or 7 Cough drops into a hot cup of Tea, It helps some.. But, I need to know if there's others that I can try out..
Is there other things I can try?

Take hydrogen peroxide and dilute it with water and gargle frequently. It will kill the germs in your throat. I have used it to stop a strep throat infection immediately. You may also use it to dissolve the wax in your ears and kill the bacteria. I use it undiluted to dissolve ear wax and clean out my ears.
You may also gargle with salt water.
It your doctor prescribes antibiotics for a bacterial throat infection, eat yogurt, such as Nancy's yogurt or Kefir from the health food store. The commercial yogurt in your grocery store does not have enough of the friendly bacteria in it to replace the one's killed by the antibiotics. The antibiotic kills the good and bad bacteria. The the bad bacteria will cause an overgrowth and you will be open to other infections. You need the good bacteria to keep the bad bacteria under control.
Drink a great deal of water to flush out your kidneys along with plenty of liquids. Herbal teas and fresh juices are best.
A mixture of raw honey and lemon juice will coat the throat and help kill the germs.
Extra vitamin C, garlic and honey will help fight the infection.
Many sore throats and infections are contracted from bacteria on toothbrushes which should be replaced monthly. Between uses store your toothbrush in hydrogen peroxide (rinse throughly before using) or grapefruit seed extract to kill germs (which can also be used to gargle with.)

Have you tried salt water gargles? Add a tablespoon of salt to one liter of water and let it warm to room temperature. Gargle with this solution 4 times a day, for the next 7 to 10 days. Also, continue your throat lozengers and hot tea.

~Tis the season for sore throats, we have it too. :(
The majority rules, gargle with salt and warm water as often as necessary.
I use throat spray (Chloraseptic) and throat lozenges.
Hot tea helps, even without that massive amount of cough drops in it. (Cough drops have sugar in them too.) So, use the cough drops separately and sparingly as you are a diabetic.
Keep liquids close by to sip on.
No need to rush to the doctor, as I said, it's going around.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
Good Luck & MERRY CHRISTMAS~

try warm tea with honey and lemon. Suck on hard candy. Gargle with warm salt water. Some people prefer to suck on cold things like popsickles.
The important thing is to keep your sore throat from becoming dry.

gargle with warm salt water 3 or 4 times a day. Or more often if you like.. (Salt is healing)
There's a new spray made by Nyquil that may work...I never had any luck with Chloraseptic throat spray..Hope 1 of these helps...

gargle with warm salt water...it is soothing and will kill some of the bacteria that are possibly causing the sore throat, drink lots of fluids (I know this is hard to do with a sore throat)...I hope you feel better soon.

Humidifier or run the shower on hot and sit in the steamy bathroom. Halls Plus cough drops are "the bomb" (those are air quotes).

Try Zyban cough remedy. It seems to numb the throat. It's always worked for me.
