Brief Answer: Quinsy. Detailed Answer: Hello! Thank you for the query. Most likely you suffer from quinsy caused by bacterial infection. Throat pain especially when swallowing indicates it. You may also have fever with this condition. I suggest you to visit your doctor and get antibiotic prescribed (Amoxicilline for example). Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions. Regards.
