Be seen: It sounds like strep throat or something similar. You need to be seen for an exam and diagnosis.

Likely infectious: Possible causes - viral, including mononucleosis, tonsillitis (possible strep related). The latter would respond quickly to antibiotics. Seek out medical evaluation to differentiate possible causes for these physical findings.
