No, there isn't a home remedy. Go to a doctor.

Hi- I am sitting here with Strep Throat and tonsillitis after enduring the type of symptoms you are explaining. It feels as if someone took rubbing alcohol to my throat, and it HURTS! It sounds like you need to go to the Dr. and get this checked out. If you are tired, and can't eat, you can be getting dehydrated. If Ice Cream and drinking liquids are hard to get down, then, there is a problem. Are you running a fever?
Try gargling with warm water and salt every hour/2 hours. Look @ your throat via flashlight. Is there a lot of redness, blister type appearance, or white spots in your throat? This is a big symptom of a bacterial virus requiring antibiotics. PLEASE don't let this go for too much longer. 4 days is a long time, and it will only get worse if it is bacterial.
I hope this helped somewhat. Here are some sites below that may help you decide what to do. GOOD LUCK AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! GET WELL SOON!

Sounds like you may have strep throat, if going to the Dr. is not an option right now, try apple cider vinegar about 2 oz, and some honey to sweeten it.Take 3 or more times a day. Both are excellent for fighting infection and apple cider vinegar will kill strep. If you want something warm try a hot lemon and honey drink. Very soothing and loaded with nutrition to fight the infection in your tonsils. You can also try using a humidifier to keep moisture in the room you sleep in so your throat and sinuses don't get so dry. You should also be taking about 3000mg of vitamin C a day until you feel better. If you cannot swallow a pill get the powder form. Your body does not store vitamin C and needs it to fight infection.
I also use Tea Tree Oil on the outside of the throat to relieve and fight infection. DO NOT PUT IN MOUTH use only on the outer skin, as you would Vicks.
If you do not get better in a few more days you should consider going to see your Dr.
