See a doctor: With your symptoms you may have a strep throat or even the flu. Would have it checked out. Likely go to an immediate care facility if your doctor is not available..

Sick: For significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician & get a strep throat test/ culture. If you have Strep Throat, antibiotic therapy is imperative to prevent future complications. Consider Tylenol or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Saltwater gargles: Mix 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water – gargle several times a day.
