Suggest remedies for swollen and sore throat

Explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
As the onset was acute its most likely a bacterial infection. Throat swab for culture sensitivity testing can be done. Rapid strep test can also be done. Antibiotics can be initiated and tailored accordingly with the culture results. If you are allergic to penicillin then cephalosporin can be advised. Based on the history of tooth pick , the contact was not safe and initially broad spectrum antibiotics for prophylaxis purpose can be a better option.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
