Hi, thanks for your query.
In my opinion, you might be having throat infection.
May not be streptococcal bacteria always.
It can also be caused by staph, klebsilla, pseudo monas and other bacteria.
It can treated with penicillin antibiotics + anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac combination drugs twice daily. Betadine mouth gargling also can help you better.
Avoid oily and cold items.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
