What Causes Painful Swallowing, Fever And Chills?

I have been suffering with painful swallowing and pain in the back of my throat. I also have been experiencing fever and chills, loss of appetite, feeling really tired and weak as if a dump truck has run over me. The worst of this though is the pain in my throat. Can you tell me what is going on please?
