Hello and welcome to HCM
i have gone through your query and i think that its a tonsillitis or inflammation of adenoids.
Don have to worry about much. you can follow these steps:
1. stop smoking (at least for few days)
2. gargle with salty lukewarm water thrice daily
3. rinse your mouth with chlorohexidine mouthwash
4. take a course of antibiotic like Amoxycillin plus clavulanic acid
5. if pain is more a painkiller can be taken.
Following these steps will surely help.if the symtomps persist consult a doctor.
Hope this ans your query. Take care
