It started with having cold drinks. (?

My symptoms started when I had cold drinks nearly a month ago. The next morning my throat became painfully dry for 2-3days, and felt some kind of sharp poking pain when I try to swallow - but not every time. I went to ENT on the 4th-ish day, and was asked get a styloid x-ray done because my ear was painful too. The results were normal, and was prescribed Dresin + hydrogen peroxide mouthwash. The symptoms disappeared for most part, but the sharp poking still remained although not as much. It came to a point where I thought it was almost gone, but it was not. One time I had similar poking symptoms on the left side too, and this time I found a white on the tonsil(?) and i thought it was a tonsil stone. These symptoms were gone soon after salt water gargling. a few days ago, my right side tonsil parts started paining again, while swallowing and at one point even when doing nothing. And I kind of had a sore throat kind of dryness that went away. I'm going to ENT today but I'm so stressed
