hi there, you seem to be suffering from throat infection most probalby bacterial. You will need to get a throat swab taken for culture and sentivity and started on a broad spectrum antibiotic till the results come. You could take an anti-inflammatory like brufen to reduce the pain and inflammation. Hot saline gargle will also help to relieve the pain. You will need a course of antibiotics so it is best to visit the doctors as soon as possible for early cure. Take care.
