Hello and thank you fo asking HCM,

it looks like you are having sore throat but you didn't mentioned if you have any other symptoms. These condition can be caused by a virus or bacteria. If it's a virus than you will have sore throat, mild fever, catarrhal symptoms (runny nose, cough). In this case you don't need any special medication. Drink a lot of fluids, warm teas and soups. You can take analgetics for your headache.
But if you have sore throat with high fever, no catarrhal symptoms and if you see small purulent places on your tonisillas than it is a bacteria and you need antibiotics. I suggest you to go to your GP to get a prescription. You will probably get penicillin if you are not allergic to or azythromicin.

I hope this answer was helpful to you.
