Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to tonsillitis.
Tonsillitis is an inflammation and infection of the tonsils.
It can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection.
As I see through your query strep test is negative, so you symptoms are probably related to a viral infection.
I would recommend using anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.
I also recommend using throat sprays with antibacterial properties for local treatment. Also gargle frequently with salty water.
You should drink liquids, and a lot of rest.
A diet rich of Vitamin C would be very helpful to boost the immune system.
An examination by a doctor or ENT specialist is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query dear.Let me know if I can assist you further.
