The white stuff is called "Pus" ....... the headaches and fever come with the infection.....Also gargle with Salt water...... but yes you need a course of antibiotics (Penicilin) - don't know how to spell it lol

You have Tonsilitis or Strep Throat ... You would need antibiotics to kick out all infection.... Go to The Doctor as soon as possible
