G'day Mike! Sorry to hear you have been "Under the Weather".
Best wishes to both you & Yon for speedy Op & recoveries.
I can certainly recommend a Whisky for ANY ailment. It also does wonders with a cap-full added to the Oats for a frosty mornings breakfast!
Another Baz recommended Remedy is a glass of Port for a Sore Throat!
I had a friend who was a very good professional Country Music singer & she always had a glass of Port before going on stage. Swore it helped her voice!
