as much as i would like to answer your call for help it is not possible for me to blindly diagnose or treat you over the internet so the next and most important step is yours to take. you will need to see a medical provider so that you can be properly examined diagnosed and treated. you may have a strep throat and need antibiotics but you will need testing first. viral infections including mononucleosis can also cause severe sore throats. treatment will depend on your diagnosis. in order to help yourself you will need to see a medical provider today. an urgent care facility would be good if your doctor's office cannot see you.
