What Causes Breathlessness, Stuffy Nose And Sore Throat?

Hi 2 days ago i had a scratchy sore throat & a stuffy nose yesterday i woke up having a hard time to breathe due to a swollen uvula. I googled it & tried the home remedies i drank orange juice, ice water, ate ice cream, & gargled with salt water the swelling went down but its not quite back to normal size, this morning i woke up and theres like a white pus pocket on the uvula what should i do about it? I currently dont have medical insurance because i just moved from hawaii to california, but i need help please.
