I Have Been Dealing With A Slight Sore Throat For

I have been dealing with a slight sore throat for a couple of days and my ears felt like they were a little stuffed up. I also was achy everywhere, particularly my shoulders and collar bone and headaches. I came home from work Thursday evening and Friday evening and crashed on the couch.
Yesterday I laid around napping between the couch and bed. In the afternoon I had a breakthrough and felt fine. I took the dog for a walk, and continued to rest. In the night my throat started hurting on the other side.
The pain is now in my ear and throat with swollen gland on the same side. This side hurts more than the first side did. Its hard to swallow. I feel like there is a lump on that side of my throat.
Yesterday I thought it was a virus and nothing my doctor could give me for it.
I'm beginning to think I better call for an appointment first thing in the morning.
Your thoughts?
