Pain when swallowing
I am having this pain in my throat for four days now, accompanied with a fever that goes on and off. I cannot swallow food or drink without feeling some crazy pain, hence my appetite decreased over the last few days. It is also very hard for me to talk because only a little bit voice seems to come out. Please tell me what is wrong and what can I do to lessen the throat pain? Thank you!

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
