Suggest Treatment For Swollen Tonsil And Lump On Neck

My left tonsil has swollen right up, my gland has also swollen massively making a lump on my neck. This is giving me ear ache and am struggling to even swallow liquids. I'm constantly tired, a little bit headachey and have very thick saliva. I went to the doctor two days ago and she said to just take nurofen 3 times a day and gargle soluble paracetamol 4 times a day however this really doesn't seem to be doing anything for me, could she have got it wrong?
