What is wrong with my throat?

Over the past week I've had a severe sore throat on and off. Right now, the glands in my neck are swollen, my tonsils are inflammed and red/vainy with a weird crevice thing on one of them. My uvula is sticking to my tonsils and it hurts a lot to even swallow spit. I don't really feel anything else but tiredness. It's finals week and I figured I was just tired from that. Does it sound like I'm getting sick? What do I do? I'm drinking hot tea now but it's hard to drink because it hurts so bad to swallow.
