Hi,

Noted the history of heavy drinking at weekend party, developed severe sore throat making swallowing difficult, sneezing and spit.
This indicates that you may need a proper treatment.
But as you have asked for home remedies try the following and if not successful consult your Doctor for clinical examination, investigations and proper prescription based management.
Take plenty of warm liquids as it soothes and has self clearing actions.
Take steam inhalations.
Take an antihistamine and Paracetamol as per your weight.
See the results.
If this does not give relief or if the condition worsens get treated properly under the guidance of your Doctor.
Getting previous attacks cleared is no guarantee that this time too it will clear on its own.
Watch for fever, body ache, malaise, increased cough and report to the Doctor if so.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant,
