Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
As per your query you have symptoms of scratchy and itchy throat during night which is due to infection of upper respiratory tract. It seems to be of bacterial origin. The other possible cause can be because of peritonsillar abscess. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated.You should get blood and throat swab test done to confirm the diagnosis. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like levofloxacin. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
