Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your complaints of inability to eat or swallow anything for the last two days.You have already tried Motrin, Ibuprofen (they are same) and hydrocodone.
I know that you are not a snorter then why should you be worried about the parents, they will definitely know that you are not a bad boy.

All these these symptoms are suggestive of an inflammatory process in the throat may be in the form of tonsillitis or pharyngeal abscess or epiglottitis.

The only way to get an appropriate diagnosis and treatment is by having a clinical evaluation and examination including the endoscopy of the pharynx by an ENT Surgeon preferably.
Also go for the tests of blood and urine.
All these tests will help you to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
