You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
