Throat Pain, Red, Pus Pockets, Sore Body, Difficulty In Swallowing. Should I Meet A Doctor Or Home Remedy?

My throat hurts and is red. I shined a light down it and there looks to be white square like things, maybe pus pockets on the back sides of my throat. They look like they have a dot in the middle of each one. I am tired and my whole body is sore. It is getting a little difficult to swallow. No temperature. my allergies have been acting up. Especially my runny nose in the morning. Just wondering if this is something small I can treat at home or something I should go to the doctor for. Thanks.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.Forum.
your throat hurts, red with white square like things,like pus pockets, tired and body is sour, difficulty in swallowing, and running nose.
The condition is called follicular tonsillitis, usually by streptococcus.
I advise you to consult an E.N.T.surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have culture and sensitivity of the throat swab, besides other routine tests for confirmation.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
