B*stard sore throat, when to see doctor?

About three days ago I started with that horrible virus that's going around and had cold/flu symptoms and a bit of sore throat.

Flu/cold symptoms have gone but I can't swallow without it feeling like a million razor blades are sliding down my throat and it's getting progressively worse.

Yesterday wasn't too bad, I could still eat and drink with some discomfort but I couldn't sleep at all last night the pain was too much.

Today it's even worse, I can't eat or drink properly and have been forcing myself to have ice lollies and ice creams to try a soothe it.

I've tried the spray, painkillers, literally everything I can think of and having no joy.

My voice isn't horse but I can barely talk due to the pain and now I keep dribbling (sorry tmi) as I can't swallow my own spit properly.

I keep feeling really cold even under the bedcovers, like freezing.

Should I leave it a couple of days and see a doctor if not improved or should I get a grip and get on with it as it's just a sore throat?

I'd get seen to. I've just had strep throat and my throat felt like razors for a few days. If it is strep you'll need antibiotics
