While playing your throat f, trill your G# key with the left hand index finger. This is the same fingering used 6 measures before B in Mendelssohn's Scherzo from "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

..and if you want the G with better intonation, hold down the right hand Eb side key.
This also goes for trilling C6 to D.

Bb -

I do the trill with my thumb, using the standard fingerings. You have to use some wrist, but as little as possible. As you get better, it gets easier.

Best regards.
