What Causes Sore Throat, Swollen Uvula And Blood In Phlegm?

Hi, I have a very sore throat, extremely swollen uvula. Its so swollen that it gets pulled on when I swallow as it is touching my tongue. I also am expelling the most extremely thick and sticky brown and bloody mucus / phlegm from the back of my throat (i can see it sitting there after it accumulates for 15 min or so. It feels like it is glued to the back of my throat.) The mucus is also coming from my sinuses as I can suck it into my throat and painfully try to hock it out. Which further irritates my already painful swollen uvula. What can I do to treat this at home?
