Besides my heart attach, I havn`t been sick since 2011, now I`ve got the covid, have dodged that bullet for 27 months.
Besides an overall sense of being unwell and my skin feels like I`m being dragged across gravel.
I`m posting this not for pity but for a kick-ass  sore throat remedy, I`ve never in all my 62 years experienced a sore throat like this. I havn`t slept a wink in two days now, the pain is near unbearable when ever I swallow.

I can relate. Had it about 11 months ago. First five days were miserable. Felt a little better each day after that. Lost 15 lbs....but not to worry, soon afterwards I relocated them. 

My Jack Russell terrier still needed walking and that in itself was a killer. Would literally be wiped out for 10 minutes.

Keeping protein in me was a problem at first. The g/f dropped off two 12-packs of Fairlife protein shakes from Sam's Club on my front porch. Combined with a frozen banana in the blender,, it helped a lot. 

Spent most of my time on the sofa watching YouTube gun videos.

My great Grandfather (Cree ) taught me this. When you feel un-well, especially with a sore throat - chew up & swallow a few cloves of garlic. Then swallow a little whiskey.Then lie in bed.
You should feel much better by morning. This has ALWAYS worked for me.
It will burn a sore throat going down, but its worth it!!

For what it's worth

Shiloh, my G/F's friend is a nurse. She told me to keep one of those blood-oxygen sensors that clips on the end of your finger handy. You must keep your level above 92. When I walked the dog but a short distance,  perhaps 150' max, I felt absolutely beat up. My number would drop to about 90, but then rebuild itself back up to 94 in 5 minutes of less as I dropped onto the couch.

Nope..Great Gramps said WHISKEY.(He drank Wiser's Deluxe back in the day) Oh..& he grew his own garlic. I grow me own & when I have to buy it - IT IS NOT CHINEESE garlic.

My eldest son had covid when it was first breaking out & they really didn't have it diagnosed @ that point. He was moving back here from Toronto when he was infected. We are talking an early 30's kid that worked-out every day, played hockey couple X per week, & ran 1/2 to 1 mile daily. He told me he couldn't recall ever feeling that ill.Took him a few weeks to "recover", & was later diagnosed as COVID. 2 years later & he still has not recovered all his taste & smell (but it is coming slowly back). For the 1st year he couldn't run more than 50 yds w/o coughing up a lung & all kindsa crud.
This covid stuff aint anything to mess with!

My grandma Shirey would suck on Horhound hard candy while sipping scotch with a teaspoon of honey mixed in it along with 6 drops of Tabasco sauce when she got a soar throat. I cannot swear by it it but for me, it definitely works...

Whiskey & Honey.
Dissolve a teaspoon of honey in whiskey & sip slowly, don't chug it down.

Sorry to hear that you are suffering Shiloh.
Anytime I get a sore throat, I take a teaspoon of real honey, and just let it melt in your mouth and ooze down the throat. 
I do this just as I go to bed. Normally in the morning the sore throat is gone. Especially when you treat it in the early stages. 
However I only use honey from friends that keep bee's. 
Stuff that's straight from the hive into the jar. It retains the natural healing properties. The supermarket stuff has generally been heat treated, so looses all the goodness that the bees put in!
Honey is I believe the only food that doesn't perish. 

Take care  and let us know how you get on.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Zed;

Just so ya know...a honey bee will only produce 1/12 teaspoon of honey in it's lifetime. The "Heat treated" stuff is "pasteurized. All the good properties dissappear in the pasteurization..
Honey is the perfect food..it NEVER goes bad (it's a regurgitated product), no-one on planet earth is allergic to (pure) honey. When honey crystallizes, just put it in the oven @ 135 degF (no higher) for a while. It will return to it's natural state(If you do it higher-it pasteurizes it.
Honey is good for allergy sufferers..if you get the honey from your local area.

...&.. most of the honey you buy in the supermarket is blended with multinational honeys - the worst being Chineese. Look @ the label sometime..It will be a mish-mash of honeys& they are useless in the grand scheme of things.
(See - I know all kindsa useless stuff!! )

Honey is the perfect food, nectar of the gods.
My Son in law and my wife`s girl friend keep bees, no shortage of the real Mckoy here.
So while talking to doctor today be prescribed me Paxlovid an anti viral drug that helps your body fight the covid-19 virus  hope it works, the stuff aint cheap. Its a 2 per day morning and evening pill form for 5 days, my doctor said I was prime candidate for the treatment.
$750, thank god we have a drug plan, but if not I believe the Ontario gov`t covers it.

I've had good luck with a nice strong cup of English Breakfast Tea with a big dollup of honey. Cough drops or cough syrup seem to only make me cough more, irritating a sore throat even more. Keep the tea handy all day, sip often. Gargle several times a day with warm salt water in conjunction with the tea.

Natural Raw honey, the funky stuff with the comb still in it.
It seriously underrated.

I got covid , same time as the wife last december. I always treat such maladies with a good old fashioned recipe .  I take a two quart pot and toss in 4 or 5 bags of tea. I then put in a cup of OJ , a cup of grapefruit juice , 1/3 cup of lemon juice , a cup of good quality local honey , and a cup of good quality whiskey ( Rowan's creek by willett distillery ) . I top off with water to the 2 qt and bring to a low boil. At that time get some towels and wrap up and drink as much of this as physically possible as fast as possible. You will find that you can sweat in places you never imagined you would...or could. Repeat as often as you can. It is the nuclear option to such things and has never let me down. My wife still has issues with taste and smell...she did not do this remedy , But I had  that man made covid for 5 days total and back to normal .  
     Now your mileage may vary especially if you have been hoodwinked into having had those poison "vaccinations" pushed by gov't and big pharma. Those poisons have wreaked havoc on the human immune systems - almost as though that was intended. 
    Anyhow please try this...it's always worked for me.
