Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

What you are describing seems like a problem with either the tonsils or the thyroid gland. If you have fever, you may be having an infection. You will need to see a local doctor so they can examine you and determine where is the problem and give the treatment. Meanwhile consider drinking more fluids, taking a pain killer regularly and doing gargles with salt to disinfect your throat. Let me know if you get more symptoms so I can suggest accordingly the next steps.

Hope I have answered your query.
