James, you really do need to be seen by a doctor for them to test if it's bacterial or virus infection ... if bacterial antibiotics will clear it up, if money really is that tight, take some pain killers and anti inflammatories like IBUPROFEN and hope that your body's own immune system can fight the infection ... drink plenty of fluids and take it easy ...good luck!!

Aspirin dissolved in water & gargled will also help with the sore throat. Tonsillitis, had it a when I was a kid, got me out of a lot school, but seriously you can get all sorts of things happening with that type of infection.
Bummer about cost though, sort of makes me appreciate the Aussie health system for urgent stuff (free) although I'm in private medical as well.
At the very least you need some antibiotics to fight the infection, bet your snoring the walls down to.
