Hope you feel better soon :(( Last time I was on death's doorstep-sick, pretty sure I had tonsillitis and possibly bronchitis or something (pus all over tonsils, red inflamed swollen etc etc) but I refused to go to the doctor. I pretty much lived on extremely salty noodle soup and lemon tea made with manuka honey, which is supposed to be antibacterial and effective. I'm not sure if it helped but I'm still alive so maybe xP

I also like to chew on those hard strong licorice dimes and get the saliva flowing which helps.
