No!: You must get checked for a more serious issue: strep pharyngitis, strep abscess, or tonsillitis. (George Washington died of a strep abscess - you don't need to!) Even more likely: Infectious mononucleosis. Ibuprofen will help tide you over temporarily (400 mg with food every 4 hours), but you need to see your doctor in the morning for cultures and blood work.
