Any tried and true throat soothers? [View all]

I'm a first soprano and oversang some tonight - pushed more than I should to overcome some sinus issues. The range of our whole concert is up there, but tonight we really worked on Howard Hansen's Song of Democracy and Ralph Vaughn Williams' Serenade to Music. My throat is shot! Right now I'm drinking some warm Earl Grey tea (decaf) with good dose of lemon and honey. I have chloraseptic on my nightstand (not sure if that would be the best).

I thought maybe someone on here would know if there was anything else that I should try.
