?ER,Aloe juice,Vit C: If you feel like you are having difficulty breathing due to the swelling please go to the ER immediately, but it would be uncommon for your throat to swell that much from hot coffee. I advise getting aloe vera juice and drink it, trying to gargle with it. Also take Vit C 1000 mg every 2 hours. Licorice tea or tablets may also help. But if there is bad pain and swelling please seek medical care.
