Sore Throat, Burning While Swallowing, Blood In Mucus. Treatment?

Hi, just in the past couple daye I have started to experience a sore throat. It is to the point now where it actually burns when I swallow. I have also noticed from last night and today that when I spit out the mucus in my throat from coughing, there appears to be a small amount of blood in it. I have had sore troats plenty of times this time of year from my allergies, but never this bad. I am also pretty congested.
