Take some ibuprofen for the pain and inflammation. Also, try gargling warm water with salt--it should help!

I've forgotten about salt water. I'll do that at some point. I've never thought a sore throat would hurt THIS bad. I don't even feel good when I stand up, I feel so weak.
@KandiGhostcat: it might be strepthroat--you should see a doctor if the pain persists.

@tiffanyandasaltshaker: Yeah, I will. I drank the rest of my green tea and my throat is soothing. I have one of the throat relief lollipops. And I will say that they don't taste that bad. It looks like a little dum dum sucker. As a sugar lover I think this is a genuine thing for sore throats. I know they're not actual lollipops of course. But I would recommend these to anyone over a cough drop.
