Ibuprofen: Taking Ibuprofen 400 mg with food will immediately make the pain bearable. You need to be tested tomorrow for strep infection (which, if untreated can cause rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis) and mononucleosis which often causes the worst sore throat of your life. I wish you well.

Seek care: The part that protects your airway called the epiglottis could be infected and could be serious or you could have an infection like an abscess at the back of the tonsil. That can be serious too! you née to see a doctor before something bad happens!
