Sore Throat, Headache And Stiff Neck. Difficulty In Swallowing. What To Do?

Hello, since Friday I've had a sore throat that is particularly painful to swallow, to drink and to eat. I find it hard to look down or move my head because of the pain in my throat and I keep having painful headaches and a stiff neck. I don't know whether to go to a doctor to get antibiotics or not to bother them, my dad thinks I have a sore throat but it's a lot worse than he thinks?
