Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
You would need an ENT examination to rule out tonsillitis.
In addition, the pain down your right arm could be due to a pinched nerve in the neck region.
You may take medications such as pregabalin for relief of pain, till you see a doctor.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
