What Makes My Throat To Swell And Hurt Suddenly At Night?

In the morning and during the day my throat doesn't hurt but once 4pm rolls around my tonsils start to swell up and hurt a bit, and by this time at night (11pm) its hurting badly, I have had cold symptoms for approx 3 weeks, getting almost completely better at one pint last week and then getting sick again. What dies this sound like? Should I see my doc for an antibiotic?
