    That much honey won't hurt you, you could also stir honey into a warm drink or suck honey and lemon candy.

    For a sore throat you can ge soluble tylenol or ibuprofen. they work locally as well as systemically.

    There are also lozenges or sprays with a small amount of local anaesthetic in them - in UK we have lozenges called Tyrozets. Not the nicest taste, but very soothing.

    Ask your pharmacist for advice.
