Pain control: See your doctor for an assessment tomorrow. If you are unable to swallow and the pain and swelling are increasing be seen sooner. All the best and feel better.

Ok....: without an exam, I can only give general information. and sinus infection frequently causes these symptoms. furthermore signs of infection involving collectiions of purulent material are indicative of a situation in which antibiotics are helpful. Might mention that strep infections fail zithromax 1 in 3 times and the mroe serious fusibacterial infections (mouth germ) doesn't respond it at all.

Get checked: Swollen tonsil, which can cause ear pain when swallowing, and bad breath is often a sign of strep throat, which must be treated with antibiotics so you don't get complications later. Please get seen or call your doctor.

Vague: Hard to say without a thorough history and exam. I would see a Dr. and hopefully get an answer- possible tests, etc.
