Could be strep/viral: Your symptoms may be due to a common strep throat infection, which can be easily diagnosed in your doctor's office. Some other bacteria or viral infections can also cause similar symptoms. For now, it's probably best to take some Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen for the symptoms and contact your doctor's office for an appointment to see if anything else needs to be done.

URI Sx's: 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. Can gargle with Aloe Vera juice twice a day.
