My sore throat is really starting to piss me off. It's one of those that makes reflexive swallowing hurt. I'll try gargling warm salt water before bed.

Sorry you're not feeling well. Sore throats are my absolute least favorite type of being ill.
In addition to the other suggestions, I'd also recommend Aspergum. If your local pharmacy carries it, it might be behind the counter, these days.
Aspergum is pretty much what it sounds like: a tablet of gum that releases aspirin into your saliva, which then coats your throat with creamy pain-free goodness. In my experience, it lasts longer than both salt-water and Chloraseptic, but I usually tag-team against a sore throat with every remedy I know.
