As this is a public forum prescription cannot be given here as it's against practo policy. Your symptoms appear to be that of tonsilitis. I would advise you to do salt water gargling, do steam inhalation with plain steam, avoid cold food and water, stay well hydrated and try to have a glass of hot water every hour.
Next Steps
if there's worsening of your condition kindly reach out online or meet a doctor in person
