So it's 2:30 am where I am, and I cannot fall back asleep because of severe discomfort in my throat. My throat has been sore since Wednesday night and I THOUGHT it was getting better, but it acted up again. What do you recommend? I've already been using throat lozenges but they don't seem to be helping a great deal. Are there any tricks to relief swelling (I have swelling in my right tonsil) and pain? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

An old home remedy for sore throat is tea made with lemon, apple cider vinegar, cayenne, and honey. A typical recipe would be made by adding one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper, the juice of 1/4 lemon, and one teaspoon of honey to a cup of hot water and then stirring. Typically, up to four cups a day is suggested. Honey is also used to soothe a cough.
Other Home Remedies
Gargle and rinsing your mouth with salt water several times a day. To make a salt water gargle, dissolve one teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water.
Use sore throat lozenges to increase saliva production and lubricate the throat. Lozenges shouldn’t be given to young children due to the risk of choking.
Drink plenty of fluids, which keeps the throat lubricated. Some people get relief by sucking something cold, such as a popsicle, while others find warm drinks, such as warm water with honey, helpful.
Get plenty of rest.
Eliminate dry air, which can irritate a sore throat, by using a cold air humidifier.

Because in your country it's 2:30 am it's best not to visit a store unless there open 24 hours a day and of a night.
Use a cold glass of water with a slice of lemon it actully works, try sucking on boiled sweets or ask your neighbour or someone if they have any boiled sweets or any medicines or that.
nothing can deadly kill the sore throat and could last a long time.
keep well hydrated, drink plenty of water.
rememmember lemons!
