If you happen to have a full dose of zithromax (5 days) or pennicillin (10 days), I would take that. Now I realize that's probably not legal and more than a little risky, but I'm just telling you what IIII would do.
Celestial Seasons has Echinacea tea that really, really made my throat feel better (I had terrible strep).
You should be taking either advil or tylenol or both. Take advil 400-800mg. Wait 3 hours. Take 2 tylenol extra strength. Wait 3 hours. Take advil again. Wait. Take tylenol again...
You see the pattern.
Honestly, sweetheart, the best thing for you to do is see a doctor. Anytime I can't swallow my own spit, I'd go to the dr, or at least call the dr. and maybe they can give you something over the phone.
Feel better. Drink as much as you can!

When you swallow your own spit hurts, means you are having a series sore throat, I recomend to see doctor.
Mostly its infection and might need antibiotics normally.
If you insists, well up to you here are some relieves:
1. make a cup of warm water (coffee cup) with a teaspoon of salt and dilute and drink it early in the morning when you wake up.
2. Make some warm honey lemon and sip slowly throughout the day.
3. drinks planty of water.
4. Important stuff: NO MORE HEATY FOODS for the rest of your days until it cures completely
Foods to avoid: Deep fried stuff like frieds, wedges, KFC, Mcdonalds, Sizzling food, BBQ, potato chips,chilies, spicy foods, curry, fresh baked cakes, cookies, pies when its hot (you can eat it after it cools down for few hours time). You still can eat those stuff if you want your throat to "kaboom"!
5. Foods best to consume for faster recovery: pure porridge, soups but not those hot and spicy soups, sandwich bread with soup for easy to swallow.
6. If those cant make you good in 3 days, SEE DOCTOR!

First of all, look in the mirror and open your mouth really wide. Look to see if there are white spots on the back of your throat (you might need to have a light shining in your mouth while you look). If there are white spots, you NEED to go to the walk- in clinic. You might have strep throat - which is contageous!
If you don't see any white spots try gargling hourly with Listerene or hot water with LOTS of salt. It won't taste good, but it works if you do it hourly.
Hot lemon tea with honey is also good, so is Slippery Elm throat losenges. They are used by opera singers to soothe an irritated throat.
Garlic also works well, but doesnt taste good.

If your throat hurts that bad you should go to the dr cuz it might be strep. But try gargling salt water, drink hot mint tea.

Try gargling with salt water several times per day. It is not a "quick fix" but it should help.
If it persists or gets worse, I would recommend seeing a doctor. You may need antibiotics.

Warm water with apple cider vinegar and a little salt about eight ounces of water.
