Hello Jordan Mustang,
Just to let you know that you should exercise some patience so that the penicillin should work as it is very effective against pharyngitis ( with common germs like staph, strep etc being of course the causative agents). Painkillers would be very helpful especially the antiinflammatory ones as they will also help in regressing the inflammatory.

Hope you recover quick
