I have also used water until l thought "Essential oils are oils!" So oils just mix well together and the irritation potential of the E.O. is dampenned. For whatever use for aereal sphere, the oil will also make the EO stick better in the throat l think.
For sorethroats, I often use tea-tree or niaouli. Also close to oregano, thyme, thujanol type. Adding some mint will cool the throat too.
Also think about an easy way: gargle and clean your throat well after eating! Either with a thyme infusion or just warm water, eventually with salt in it. You can add a teaspoon of oxygenated water and it cleans well. Salt and oxygen and heat!
