    You need to see a doctor and get some antibiotics in you. These things can worsen quickly and your fever can run high and be dangerous.

    Could be either of the two you mentioned, could be strep throat, could be some sort of viral infection. You really do need to get to the doc. Go to an outpatient place, or to the ER if you can't get in to see the doc.

    Take asprin or tylenol for the fever, and soak in a cool bath to lower the fever. Try to drink as much as possible, water or gatorade.
