You seem to be suffering from acute bacterial pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics, pain killer medicines along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery. Throat swab may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
