this sounds like a bad case of Strep, you should seek medical attention, but until you can get an appointment I would recommend gargling with salt water as warm as you can stand it. It will help with the pain and also help fight the infection. Strep bacteria dont like salty solutions.

I had strep all the time as a kid. it sounds like you have it. Go check it with a doctor but until then i recomend ice cream, jello, and hot liquids. Gargleing with salt water is good too. a tablespoon of salt for a cup of water. gargle for like 10-15 sec and repeat as often as you want. probley 2 or 3 times twice a day.
My best advise is cambells chicken noodle. get some hot chicken broth on you tonsils. dont burn you tounge but drink the broth as hot as you can. it has salt in the broth so it is kinda like the gargleing thing only it tastes better and the heat does wonders. then get a popsicle or ice cream. cold temps help too. get plenty of fluids and bedrest. the white patches are normal for strep. good luck

Take 2 tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar with 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix them in 6-8 oz of very warm water. Sip this mixture like tea and repeat 3-4 times daily. This will alleviate the swelling and pain, while prompting the body to heal itself from within. It works. Best wishes.

If you have white patches on your throat it could be strep throat. You should call your dr.

See a doctor. You may have tonsillitis.
