Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Since you are not able to swallow anything including the medicines for 36 hours you may go into dehydration and electrolyte imbalance along with further complications.
Hence I would request you the following:
Please go to ER/Hospital to get the intravenous fluids and intravenous antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory medications that have painkiller properties like Diclofenac which is available as injection and other forms.
Try to seek evaluation by an ENT Surgeon to get the ENT Endoscopy so that anything in the lower pharynx or posterior part of tonsil can be visualized to get a proper diagnosis.
Since this is an acute attack along with enlarged lymph nodes, the most probable cause is infective which should get covered within a few days.
Stay admitted till you can swallow liquids.
Further tests of blood will help.
I hope this answer helps you in right decision making and helps to get a proper diagnosis and management.
