Hi and thanks for this query.

Fro your symptoms, you could have tonsilitis. However, because your neck seems swollen, i will like you to be examined by a physician for possible complications like abscess formation which may need treatment options beyond the ordinary.

For now, pain killers will offer some relieve. try to drink as much as possible to stay hydrated while mapping out the plan to see you doctor as soon as possible.

Hope this helps..Hope it answer your query.

Wish you well as you try to get this problem resolved.
