Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic and thanks for putting up the query
it seems to be either pharyngitis or tonsillitis
if possible plplease send me pictures of the lesions
i would advise you to take some oral anantibiotic and an anti inflammatory drug like a combination of diclofenac and serratiopeptidase twice daily
do hexidine gargles
u can use lozenges for symptomatic relief
all medicines are available only on prescription
