You might have strep throat: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/Strep-Throat-Topic-Overview

Might be time to see a professional, how long have you had it for.Shine a flashlight in your throat. If you see white spots, it's Strep Throat. (I think it's that because of the hurts when swallowing thing.)Maybe tonsilitis? If you've had it for more than a week...go see the doc. It might be Mono.

Dude, go to the doctor, get some anti-biotics, and carry on.

Go see a doctor if you want to know!! There isn't anybody here that can do the necessary culture exams to determine what is causing the problems you have. Now, GIT!! God Bless you.

Swollen glands commonly develop when the body fights infections from colds, insect bites, or small cuts. More serious infections may cause the glands to enlarge and become firm, hard, or tender. Examples of such infections include:Bacterial infections, such as: Strep throat, caused by the streptococcus bacterium.A boil (abscess), similar to a large pimple. A boil may develop when a hair follicle or the skin becomes infected. A sweat gland abscess may form one or more boil-like lumps in the armpit.Viral infections, such as: A viral infection of the skin (molluscum contagiosum), which causes small pearly or flesh-colored bumps.Measles, rubella, chickenpox, or mumps.Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which develops in the late stage of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. This virus attacks the immune system, making it difficult for the body to fight off infection and some diseases.Mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr virus), which also causes fever, sore throat, and fatigue, or cytomegalovirus (CMV), a viral infection that causes symptoms similar to those of mononucleosis.Other infections, such as: Lyme disease, an infection that is spread by certain types of ticks. Syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease. So if you haven't already, (it seems you haven't) go to the doctor. Depending on if it's viral or bacterial, he'll give you antibiotics. In the meantime, get lots of rest, drink lots of fluid, and take some ibuprofen to reduce pain and swelling.
