First of all, drink LOTS of water to stay hydrated. Second, take aspirin every 4 hours, or however it is directed on the bottle if you are not allergic. Aspirin, in particular helps. The link provided will explain somewhat and provide other remedies. If it is THAT bad, dont hesitate to see a doctor, believe it or not, they can treat it if severe enough.
and of course you know of aloe vera.
Other than that, you have to let it heal. without steroids, you just let it have to take its course. Im sorry it sucks to have, I feel for you. I fell asleep on a ship a few summers ago and was in the most pain in my life and followed the few remedies listed and in the link
hope it helps.
Good luck and feel better.Health Question & Answer

~~Apply while vinegar to the burned area, with a soft cotton ball. the smell dissipates quickly, and you will get instant relief. Only wear light cotton clothing over it. Do not put any creams or anything containing oils, they hold in the heat.
You can also soak in a tepid bath (add vinegar to the water also), and soak, this also gets the heat out so helps pain.
Put a box of cornstarch in the fridge or freezer and powder the areas occasionally, especially before sleeping. Do all the above as often as needed, you will have major relief!~~Health Question & Answer

I know that you've probably heard the aloe vera thing A LOT...believe me...but it really does help if you keep reapplying it. If you store it in the fridge, it can give you more of a relief when you first put it on.
Mix a half-water, half-vinegar solution and apply it to the burn with a spray bottle or soaked cloth. This will sting a little bit at first, but it definitely pulls the burning sensation out of your sunburn.
Ice packs (in small amounts of time) and cold cloths or compresses will also help to minimize the length of time that you have redness and should help with the swelling.
Take lukewarm (room temperature) BATHS. Taking showers with too high of a water pressure could increase your pain. Taking a too-cold bath won't help, and will make you freezing. And a too-hot bath runs the risk of burning you even more, or irritating the burn that you already have.
Make sure that you drink PLENTY of water, in order to keep your body hydrated so you don't develop a fever. If you do develop a fever, take an acetaminophen or an ibuprofen to help get rid of the fever and to minimize inflammation and swelling.
If your sunburn is really bad and seems to be very painful, you may want to go see your doctor and get a prescriptive treatment.Health Question & Answer
