Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to tonsillitis.
I suggest you use anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
I also recommend to get enough rest and drink warm or very cold fluids to ease throat pain.
Eat smooth foods, ice cream, or applesauce.
Use a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier in your room.
Gargle with warm salt water.
If the symptoms continue antibiotics may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
