So i have strep throat i am pretty sure and its been a week and i am going to the doctors tuesday but it is starting to get hard for me to swallow wil?

Not sure: In order to diagnose strep throat, we need a sample from your tonsils. If you really have difficulty swallowing solid food and developing fever, don't wait till tuesday as you may develop something more serious. Difficulty swallowing means solid food gets stuck in your throat.
