Brief Answer:
Could be strep as well

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your symptoms describe toxic nature of the infection.
These symptoms are related to streptococcal infection as well.
I suggest to see a local doctor for examination and prescription of antibiotics as soon as possible. Any delay would lead to early complications.
Besides the full course of antibiotics (a 5 day course) you need, bed rest, mouth gargles and ADVIL/MOTRIN to help ease the pain.
Let me know if you need any more help.
