Oh my, that is how my flu started. I just now got up, about 3 hours ago. I have been so sick since Friday. It is probably just some allergy though. It is worse at night cause sinus crap tickles the back of your throat when you lay down. So I suspect it is a sinus issue.

Gargle with warm salty water. Add a teaspoon or so of salt to a glass and fill it with warm water. I always use Luden's cherry cough drops. I love them. Aspirin also helps with a sore throat just like it relieves aches and pain anywhere else.
BEFORE I go out on a really cold day, I take a Halls Cough Drop. I never catch a cold.

Maybe it is a viral infection. Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. You can find some good home remedies at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html

Try drinking a little lemon juice (not lemonade). If the scratching continues for another week, it's time to go to the doctor... could be allergies or something else. Hope that you feel better.
