Hello,
Probably, you may be suffering from acute tonsillitis. Need salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.
Use rexidine mouthwash thrice a day for five days. If symptoms do not improve, need to start antibiotics. Please consult your ENT specialist who will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
