Sore throat, can't stop swallowing, any help or tips?? Best 5* answer for any genuine help!?

Hi, I have one of the worst sore throats I've had in ages, It literally feels like its going to close over, it's so sore, dry and scratchy that I am swallowing every 10 seconds which is making me feel sooo ill and panicky, Was really hoping to get some sleep and dose myself up to go into work tomorrow but I can't sleep cause of it : ( Any tips, or help would be much appreciated with a best answer! Thank you
