Hi,
Your medical data are indicative for tonsillitis (infection of tonsils). You can send a photo of your throat to me to further assist you better.
Meanwhile, I suggest to get physically examined by your physician as you need immediate treatment with antibiotic (orally).
I also advise to:
- do washing of throat with water and salt
- drink more water
- avoid solids until improvement (can have soups, drinks,etc)
- take paracetamol or ibuprofen to reduce swelling
All the best!
