Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to tonsillitis which is an inflammation of the tonsils. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using a throat spray with antibacterial properties. If the symptoms continue, you may need to take prescription antibiotics. Meanwhile, I suggest to rest and drink liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
