Anywho, I tried to find some Halls or vics around here but managed to find Strepsils w/ Honig & Zitrone at an Apotheke. They seem to be working. Only downsides are that they leave the roof of your mouth numb and cost about 50 rappen/tabletten.
I remember there was some aweful, aweful tea you could boil and then gargle. It smelt/tasted horrid but the next morning you were good to go. Don't remember the name anymore.
