Brief Answer:
Are you on pain medications?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I will like to know if you are taking any medications to control the pain. You symptoms are suggestive of sore throat and penicillin is the best medication. I will not want to think it is not the case with you. Rather, the pain associated with this condition may not be well managed. I will recommend that you take a combination of Tylenol and Ibuprofen to control the pain over 48-72hours regularly. This would help.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
