Go to urgent care or: ER are your other options if you have increased pain, swelling, inability to breathe, with fever, chills so that you can be treated with antibiotics. Public health clinic or free clinics are another option attached to medical schools or county hospital ENT clinics. Do get seen by a doctor as soon as you can. Rinse and gargle with warm saline. Hydrate and rest well too.
