What Causes Redness And Soreness In The Throat?

My throat is red and pretty sore. There s are a few white spots on my tonsils which are very swollen, and well as a few in the back of my throat. This has been sore for about 3 days and is accompanied by an extremely stuffy nose, and a cough that started today. What is this and how do I get rid of it quickly?
