Gargling with warm/slightly hot water and sault every 30 min first 24 hours and then about every 2 hours for the next 2 days helps a lot! Also there is Yogi tea bags for breastfeeding moms, great for your health, your throat and your baby too! Drink that Warm/slightly hot tea as many times as you can :)

One shot of rum wil not adversely effect your baby (one only) and it will hep you to relax and get the rest you need to get better.. just remember to sleep when your baby sleep in order to get better.
