Incredibly painful sore throat. Help 😩

Currently travelling in Singapore for work so am in a hotel room wishing I was home and having a little cry.

Woke up a few days ago feeling a bit rough - mainly cold symptoms, that night was awful (temp, violent shivers) the next morning woke up with a sore throat that gradually got worse until 3am the next morning where it’s so painful and swollen I can’t swallow and have had to spit saliva out a few times. 3 days later and it’s keeping me awake at night, making me cry and feels like it’s cut into a 100 pieces and I’m swallowing vinegar. I’ve never felt anything quite like it

Ive tried Diflam lozenges, gargling with salt water, usual pain relief. Does anyone have any magical tips or tricks? (I’ve had my tonsils removed so unlikely to be tonsillitis)

It's not covid is it? Have you tested? Get some salt and gargle warm salt water. Fruit pastels are great for sore throats too. Hope you feel better soon.

I have had tonsilitis on and off as far as I can remember but the only time it actually made me cry was when I had Covid.
Ibruprofen helped me but it was awful when it wore off
