Suggest Treatment For Scratchy Throat, Fever And Chills

Im 21, male. Around 1pm today my throat began to get very scratchy. I work out side so I drank some Gatorade thinking maybe I was just dehydrated. This symptom escalated over the next 4 hours and others arose. it was very rapid and this has never happened to me before. At 5 I left work sufferiong from severely dry back of throat, fever, chills and sweats, sever pressure on ears (from Inside pushing out), feeling of being weightless, light headed, muscle aches, tender and stiff neck (tender to the touch). It has stalemated at the current, but I dont know what it is or if I should wait until morning to go to the doctor
