Glandular fever or mumps?

Hi

Please please please tell me your tips, tricks and remedies I'm in AGONY to the point I'm reduced to tears.

I think I may have glandular fever or mumps. I am in AGONY. My throat and glands hurt so much like a pain I've never felt before. I can't put my head all the way back or all the way down (chin to chest) can't eat, drink. I've had to spit out saliva as I can't swallow it. It even hurts to talk as my tongue is moving. I haven't eaten all day. And only
Taken sips of water when I'm so so so thirsty and even then it makes my
Eyes water.

I have no tonsils. Also don't have a temperature (yet?) just exhausted and in so so so much pain. The glands under my neck are so swollen.

I've gargled salt water, diluted TCP. Sucked on halls, soothers AND stepsils on top of pain relief which isn't touching it at all

It's came on really slowly over the past 3 days but today is the worst so far.

I'll call my GP tomorrow for an appointment but anyone got any advice?
