Hi Bobby, the tea, honey & lemon will soothe your throat, as well as help break up mucus.
The acidophilus your friend suggested is an excellent idea AFTER you finish your run of anti-biotics. Even better would be a combination bifidus, thermophilus, acidophilus, and other LIVE cultures, easily found in live culture PLAIN yogurt (the sweetened kind will FEED undesirable bacteria).
The purpose of introducing these cultures AFTER anti-biotics is simple. As the anti-biotics work at killing the intended bacteria http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/alien.gif i.e. in your throat, they ALSO kill off all the bacteria in your intestines. Partly, this is a real good thing, as it kills the nasties (like yeast http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/t_down.gif) that are present in your (all of our) intestines. The live cultures you introduce after the anti-biotics restore the NECESSARY bacteria :angel: you REQUIRE to appropriately process what you consume.
If you introduce with sugar-laden cultures (like ALL fruit/or sweetened yogurt), then the bad bacterias have a marvelous environment to grow :bouncing: , and since it's so clean in there, over grow, and potentially squeeze out the good guys http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dizzy.gif.
As for the l-lysine, I'm not sure about the intention there. It is an amino acid and as such, works more synergistically if combined with other amino acids http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love2.gif .
Hope this helps (helped me, I OBVIOUSLY had fun here! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dance.gif )

Hi Bobby,
I am a singer too and have found that hot tea with lemon and honey work well....But steam is the best. You can buy a steamer or run hot water in the sink and put a towel over your head, bend over the sink and enjoy the steam. It will clear any congestion and leave your airways open. remember not to eat chocolate or drink soda or milk before singing.
